mike23 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have heard conflicting stories about the type of engine coolant (Antifreeze) that is required. Can I use just a regular coolant or does it have to be a high performance coolant? Stock engine is all I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have heard conflicting stories about the type of engine coolant (Antifreeze) that is required. Can I use just a regular coolant or does it have to be a high performance coolant? Stock engine is all I have. Use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (Pink in colour) only. It is already pre-mixed with distilled water. I'm getting the coolant change done this coming weekend on my 2005 ES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpreet Grover Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I had Peak Antifreeze and coolant and I just read the label which said "use with any color coolant or any make of car." I guess it is ok to mix green and pink with newer antifreeze and coolants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would use the toyota Pink, a little expensive but it will last 5 years or 150k miles....The toyota fluid is an excellent fluid and protects all of the bi-metals in the engine with no silicate in it.

lenore Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 +1 agree would not mix fluids, only as a last resort in an emergency, than first opportunity would change it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
