Bryan is spot on...it is chemistry/laws of physics at work here
Add that is the main 'why' of the overflow bottle now being pressurized.
Using all of the kits out there creates yet, another O2 intrusion into the coolant system...that...works it dirty work over time. Sure, dependent on how much O2 gets in there...plus how much of the acid is left over from the etching/plating (acid etch's and the organic coats a protective layer)
Just leave it alone and 'check' via the translucent overflow bottle...there should be lines indicating 'max' and 'min' coolant levels

Honestly I'd leave it alone. The new coolants last a very long time as long as oxygen isn't introduced. You may inadvertently shorten the lifespan of your cooling system by periodically draining and filling. There's good reason why they've made it harder to service.
