Soarer Forums Junkie Location: Wollongong Registered: May 2002	Re: does coolant matter? Tue, 11 February 2003 01:52 What colour coolant do you have in there at the moment Draven ? My 1JZ uses red (I suspect from the factory) so I flushed and replaced mine with red. NEVER mix red & green coolants. It will cause more trouble than its worth. Also, a little side story, I wouldn't go putting green into an engine that previously had red (many Toyotas) because when I changed the coolant on my V6 Camry from red to green (with 2 full flushes in between) it constantly overheated. Only flushing and changing back to red fixed the problem. Not sure if this is applicable to your engine, but the info may come in help for you. Also, I'd change the Coke bottle as soon as you can. Obviously not a desirable situation, but it's better than none at all. After 12 months since flushing my cooling system, it hasn't needed any top ups at all (no leaks thank goodness) and has never overheated. [Report message to a moderator]
