11/6/2022 0 Comments Toyota coolant![]() ![]() The factory fill on our cars was Toyota Red ("long life"). ![]() ![]() I would not do that again, knowing what I know today. I did the coolant flush about 3 years ago and didn't really understand coolants, so I used the green coolant. Is green coolant better or should i stick with the red? Should have just done a flush in the first place, bad apple on me. I will then use the RED Toyota long life coolant and mix with distilled water. So my idea now is to do a full flush of the system before I operate the engine. What I have realized though, is that you shouldn't mix any coolants and should only switch coolant types after doing a flush. I've read so much debate about red or green coolant and which one is better and what last the longest etc. I am worried though that maybe I still have some green coolant in my system. I was not able to start the car and finish the process of adding coolant. Originally my car had GREEN coolant, I drained out the radiator but didn't do a full flush and then added RED coolant (which I had to mix with distilled water, 50/50).When filing the car with red coolant I could only fill about 5qts before the radiator was full. #TOYOTA COOLANT MANUAL#Now the Camry owners manual specifies to use ethylene glycol coolant which is still the red coolant. I went to Toyota to buy some coolant and the guys there said I needed red coolant (Toyota long life) and that Toyota switched from red to green coolant. So I just replaced my water pump and timing belt. ![]()
