As a lot of people have already mentioned, the spec. of your coolant is important and the colour can also be an indicator, but with colour you really need to be careful. Eg- Some alloy friendly coolants are bright green, they work ok. You can get a dull green coolant put out by BMW I think, it is ment for large steel head diesels, it is very expensive and has some really impressive cooling properties (Cliamed 120 deg C boiling point at zero coolant pressure!!) great as it is, it WILL eat large holes in an Alloy head in a short period of time.
In short, read all the info before you use a coolant ( the no alloy head warning isn't huge on the above coolant)My car is up for a coolant change, genuine is gonna cost, MR2 needs 14 litres of the stuff, where in sydney area can I get the toyota stuff cheap?
