So the bottom line is this, if your car came from the factory with DexcoolŽ, use DexcoolŽ for replacement or to top off. If your car came from the factory with standard "green" antifreeze, use that for replacement or to toping off. Case in point, DexcoolŽ has been known to cause head gasket and water pump failure on some Ford OHC V-8's.
bit of google info, from what it implies dexcool is red 
http://autorepair.about.com/cs/coolingsystem/l/aa0 52601c.htm is where it came from
Toyota uses a red antifreeze in many of its products and should not be confused with the orange type long life antifreezes. It is essentially the green type of antifreeze that contains red dye to give it the red color. the bastards are just screwing us over!
