    I’m planning on doing a coolant flush on my 2002 Tacoma with the 3.4. I have read a lot of contradictory results on what coolant to use on the 3.4s. So what are you running, do you run the Toyota super long life coolant/antifreeze?

    I use AISIN 50-50 and I buy it at O'reilly or Autozone. Works for me.
