Liam_D Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sweet how much do i need? where can i order from? Toyota? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Toyota will stock it. I used 3L but added 3L water to have 50/50 mix. That was a complete empty engine with 3 core rad though, for reference. Also no matrix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JayJ Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Stock rad takes just over 2.5litres iirc, so 4 should be enough :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Toyota red last year wasn't too expensive, this year I went and they wanted a fortune!!So this year I've been using red coolant from my local motor factors and mixing it with water 50/50. (Make sure it's the red stuff and not pink or blue) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
