    Thank you guys for all the previous help. I’m in the middle of my coolant flush, still. I bought two different brands of coolant and I’m nervous it’s not compatible. I found a few white drops in the top of the radiator and I’ve never seen that before until I flushed the coolant. Are these two compatible? One is red and one is pink.

    Coolant is coolant - mostly water plus some seasonings.

    It's fine.

    That’s good to hear. The picture didn’t upload but it’s zerox 50/50 pink & Napa 50/50 red both for Asian vehicles. ..I didn’t clean out the hoses while flushing. Could it just be debris?

    The only incompatible coolant Ive ever experienced is dexcool and anything except dexcool or water.

    Pink is typically German

    isn’t the Tacoma one red
    Maybe it dilutes to pink
    But pretty sure it comes already 50/50

    Yeah not a fan of dexcool.... pretty certain that stuff ha caused more problems that whatever problems it supposedly fixed.
