Prestone toyota coolant

Hello,

I will change my coolant fluid this week, however the toyota dealer in my country does not have toyota super long life coolant anymore

Does anyone ever tried prestone toyota coolant in their 4.0 V6? Will go for it instead of the OEM if you recommend me

Thanks guys

I bought mine on eBay if have that option

 

Thanks for that but most of them don't ship internationally or the shipping is so expensive

 

Honestly, prestone green is the same thing but cheaper. Prestone makes coolant for almost 99% of the manufacturer's and then makes it the color the manufacturer wants. Spoke with my friend who works at toyota and Prestone. They wont void warranties as well using green. As long as it's not DeX cool (orange), u good to go. Walmart has a bottle for like 12 bucks. Buy a gallon of distilled water and mix 50/50. Boom two gallons.

 

Will do that thanks

 

Green can be used no problem. Just be ready to change it sooner than the original stuff.

Toyota pink is made by Aisin, not too hard to source online for cheaper than Toyota

 

Thanks for the tip

 

How can you tell when coolant needs to be changed, pink, orange, or green?

 

When I do my coolant flush/change I intend to use Valvoline Zerex Asian RED Vehicle Antifreeze/Coolant, it’s $12.48 at Walmart:

A hydrometer can tell you if your coolants good or not

 

I typically stick to the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals. For the V6 4.0 engine Toyota recommends 100,000.
