    All 2nd gens (05-15) use pink as far as I know, it should be in your owners manual.
    If you don't have an owners manual you can download one here'

    Counterpoint: Neither. Flush the oem coolant out, and replace with universal coolant, like Prestone or SuperTech. All my Toyota/Lexus vehicles lose the oem coolant as soon as possible - usually at the first coolant replacement which has been 100K.
