Jonny2TG Forums Junkie Location: Tasmania Registered: May 2002	Re: Red coolant? Yes or no? Tue, 16 March 2004 11:56 I work at a Toyota dealership. Few of us know the truth about what works and does not, but this is our practice: New Toyota cars have genuine red coolant. Cars serviced within the warrantee period (3 years), get the new genuine red coolant again. We get it in bottles and drums, and mix 50/50 with water. Most cars are listed to get new coolant every 2 years or 40,000km. I think sometimes they have long life coolant which is first changed at 100,000km? The newest cars (Camrys made within the last few months), have pink coolant which is "Super Long life" coolant, and I think they are listed to get it first changed at 150,000km? I could be wrong. Do not mix red coolant with green. Flush the system out good before using red, or the 2 will combine and cause massive corossion, I am told. When we service cars beyond the warrantee period, we use recycled coolant. The coolant is used Toyota red coolant that has been filtered and had a Wynns treatment added. We recyle it ourself in the workshop. I need to know more about not useing red coolant with a copper radiator? Never heard of that. I think we still use red stuff on old cars at work.
