![]() My 2004 Spyder had pink Toyota Super Long Life Coolant, or SLLC, as factory-fill.Īt first glance, it appeared the red Toyota Long Life Coolant, or LLC, was the same, except it is not already diluted/pre-mixed with water, and I originally thought it was OK to purchase/use this and dilute it myself to the preferred ratio/strength. I am planning on doing a coolant change (since it's time), or add for now and keep a close eye on the level.and also look for leaks. T-Bone, I checked the w/p, but I didn't see anything. Also, Zerex recommends their G-05 coolant for earlier Toyotas with the RED type? I looked it up and the Zerex G-05 is supposed to be for Chrysler vehicles. I don't know why Zerex specifies 1996 as the cutoff year model. I know our cars are 2000 and up, but I think our cars were factory filled with the original RED coolant? I know for a fact that the RED coolant was used in older Toyotas as well since I have it in my 1991 Toyota Pickup. However, on the other hand, I've read several posts in which people HAVE done this and have never had a problem.Īs for the aftermarket Zerex Asian stuff, I think this is only compatible with the later Toyota Pink coolant? If you read the bottle, it says 1996 and up Toyota vehicles. On another forum, a Toyota tech chimed in and said that he did not recommend mixing and advised to flush the complete system if the two were mixed. ![]() Nobody seems to know if bad things will happen if mixed, but most do not recommend it. The chemical make-up of each are different. Thanks for the replies guys! From what I have learned, there IS a difference between the Toyota Red and the Toyota Pink, not just the dilution factor. ![]()
