The Toffinator Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hi there all, im a bit confused to which coolant i need in my car, i have always been told at motorfactors to use blue at about 50/50 mix. and always have used this with no problems at all.But when looking on here people use red coolant? have i been making a big mistake? Thanks! Quote
Sparky Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Toyota coolant is pinky/red I believe doubt its any different to the blue stuff, if its always been fine on blue then why change Quote
Dan507 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 It dosen't really matter which one you use, i have Red in mine. You cannot mix the two though Quote
Giggz Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I had blue in, but drained cooling system completely when switching to civic rad, now running on toyota red. Quote
Lukew360 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I think it's called "Four Life" and it's red.I think it's about £20 quid but it's good stuff, stops everything corroding ect to. Quote

Lukew360 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Just don't mix Red + Green! It makes Brown! Quote
LukeSR Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Got red in mine as well, well its a bit pink'ish Quote
The Toffinator Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 You have all just confused me Quote
garo Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I was told only to use the Four life red stuff from toyota, apparently it is not alcohol based and better at reducing corrosion in the water ways! I got it from Toyota. Think it was around £20 for 5 litres. Quote
