Genuine Toyota – 5 Litre Long Lasting Antifreeze (Pink)

Product Information

It's very difficult to get 100% of the coolant out, especially if your car has a rear heater core, like my Honda Odyssey... another important reason not to mix. all glycols in use become acidic so they require buffers/inhibitors to maintain the pH and reserve alkalinity to perform corrosion control But if your Toyota car is a late model with an aluminum radiator, you will be better off using the pink coolant. You can still use the red version, but you will have to change or replace the coolant much more often than the pink version. Can You Mix the Two?

It would be best not to mix the SLLC Toyota with water or other similar compounds. It results in coagulation of the coolant and remarkably reduces the efficiency of the antifreeze system. Alternatives For Toyota Super Long Life Coolant Equivalent A study in Toyota’s pink coolant and some of the cooling system components that utilize this coolant including electric coolant pumps, EGR coolers and heat exchangers. Yes, however, the more you dilute the concentrate the weaker it becomes. You can test the concentration with a Hydrometer or alike.

Step 3 - Attach hose to drain coolant from block into bucket

The advice given by a Toyota tech to a car owner is to use the Long Life coolant for Toyota vehicles that are older than the 2004 year models. For modern Toyota vehicles starting from 2005 and up, you should use the Super Long Life coolant. While Toyota Pink Coolant does last a lot longer than Red it is quite a bit more expensive. This is in part because it is only available as 50/50 pre-mixed formula whereas Toyota Red is not pre-diluted.

Your first option is Mazda FL22. It is a premixed 55/45 gallon, but it is still suitable for your Toyota motor. You want to get a copy of the Haynes workshop manual for the 2002-2006 Corolla, plenty of good info on how to do such jobs. A second generation 2007 Toyota Tundra has been dropped off at the shop for a 5K service and inspection. While performing the service the technician notes dried coolant stains by the water pump pulley shown in the photo below. If you do not have Toyota pink coolant equivalent available, you can consider the below life coolant alternative to Toyota. Mazda FL22 The location on the electric coolant pump and the replacement procedure are very similar to the previous belt drive pump. Make note that two of the five bolts are longer than the others and require a different tightening torque.

Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. When changing the coolant, do drain it then fill with plain water and do a flush to remove as much as possible of the old coolant, you will only be able to remove about 5 lts of the 6+ in there , so a 5 ltr bottle will do the job and still give proper protection. The third generation Prius introduced several changes to the best-selling hybrid vehicle. One of these upgrades was the electric coolant pump. The water pump was the only component still being driven by a belt via the crankshaft pulley on the Gen2 Prius. This means the Gen3 Prius has no drive belt, and a somewhat odd-looking smooth harmonic balancer. Not only can the electric pump save energy by operating at the necessary speed, rather than always matching engine speed, but it also eliminates the need for a separate heater pump. Primarily and the obvious thought is that Coolant provides corrosion protection to engine components when subject to sub-zero temperatures, however it also alters the boiling point providing protection in extreme heat, whats more and not so well known is that it provides lubrication to the water pump and the general chemical makeup helps prevent oxidisation and so helping with the efficient functioning of the cooling system. It's as important as clean engine oil ! Toyota claims that the Super Long Life coolant can last up to 100,000 miles or 160,000 kilometers. So, that could be 10 years for the factory fill. And then you have to replace it every 60,000 miles or every 100,000 km. That could translate to every 5 years.

After reviewing the code set criteria and testing information, we connected a lab scope to the four wires at the coolant pump connector to capture waveforms while we were performing the Toyota’s test procedures for P148F. Add as a top-up to any cooling system that contains Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate (RLL). Or, use to top-up any cooling system known to contain the following products:Originally, a coolant’s color was due to the chemicals and anti-corrosive agents that were used during formulation, but with modern coolants that no longer holds true. Today, most coolants are dyed a unique color. Once filled, start your engine and turn on the heater to its highest setting. This will help release any trapped air bubbles in the system. Use as a complete fill product. This is particularly advantageous in areas where water is of poor quality, or is very hard, such as Perth and Adelaide.
