    Is there any reason I can’t use red Asian vehicle coolant in my 2010 Tacoma? It calls for pink but all I can find anywhere is red or red/pink mix.

    Use OEM, and go to the dealer parts department to get, or Amazon or eBay, using anything else is just foolish imo.
    This what my 2013 uses.

    Zerex Asian from O’reilys or Walmart will work.
    Do I like to mix coolant? - No.
    Will I? - Absolutely.
    When I have to.

    A full system evacuation, and refill with the Asian fluid would be better.
    But mixing it is an option. Just not my first option.

    Sounds like you’re in a “have to” situation.
    Pour it in, drive it.
