  1. To be fair guys anti-freeze makes very little differance what brand you use. All it does is prevent the water from freezing in cold weather and raise its boiling point by a few degrees. In theory in a warmer climate water alone is fine. The differance between red and green/Blue stuff is the red stuff is good for 5 years and the blue is good for 2 years although most people tend not to change it that often to be fair. Dont worry about your brand or cost i use car plan ready mixed and its 1.99 per ltr in morrisons just now lol. As long as when you have topped it up you go to a garage and have them check the strength of it and what temp its good to go down to. If you had this work done in a garage they would use the same stuff for nearly every car. Oh and the other rule is dont mix colours as they can gel.

    that is askin for trouble!!! if you put the crappy cheapo blue stuff in your toyota you pretty much have started to kill it.

    blue coolant ruins toyota engines, i have seen it happen. dont do it. jus put toyota red in it, the extra amount it costs you will save by not having to replace your engin and radiator.

    the toyota stuff has specific corrosion inhibitors in it suited to the materials they use in there engines,

    the blue stuff mite be orite in your old cast iron pinto powered sierra, but not in your modern mixed alloy head/ cast block toyota.

    i bet you dont use morrisons oil in your engine so why use crap coolant.

  2. only use red toyota coolant. use anything else at your own risk, toyota have blended the coolant specifically to the materials they have used in your engine and radiators and matrix etc, phosphate levels and silicates etc,

    why use a universal coolant, when theres one available that is designed specifically for your engine?
