Nulon red vs Toyota red coolant
|

Have any of you guys tried the new Nulon red coolant?
I am sick of paying a fortune for the Toyota red coolant and saw the new Nulon red stuff on the net... according to Nulons site it is rated to Toyota red standards.
Any thoughts on this coolant good bad or otherwise?

Yeah but I end up changing coolant quite regularly as I have to empty the intercooler every time I want to check the plugs etc.

I strongly recommend against using Nulon red coolant in your intercooler.

The coolant MR.2 speaks of is the imatation of toyota long life coolant i believe.
it is similar if not exact same as the toyota long life i think.
its abit cheaper too.
toyota long life coolant goes for around 44 bucks down here
i think the jap car coolant is around 35 bucks.
so i dont think it matters either way

thems some nasty pics on that site
the rest of the site is a good read too, especially the page on "intercoolers...a must read"
anyways, i use the same crap as V8_MA61, no worries so far
even when i found half of it had leaked out through a dicky thermostat thingo seal she kept cooling just fine(as a result i fanatically check my coolant and oil every day now  )

The problem with dodgy coolant is you often don't know it's dodgy until it's already done permanent damage to your engine. I don't take any chances, I use Toyota red and nothing else because I know it will protect my engine. So maybe it costs me an extra $20 every 6 months when I flush my coolant, but that's not much to pay for peace of mind is it?
