Simple Question

[Tony'sFJ]

2 weeks ago I purchased an 07 FJ, 4x4 ATRAC locker..
I am searching for the brand of coolant that Toyota uses annd recomends.

Can anyone help me?
I need to be prepared for my desert trips....



Thanks millions !

Toyota uses their own brand and I believe it is red (at least it used to be). Prestone or Peak mixed correctly should do the job just fine.

Thank's ... You say mixed correctly ?? just wondering now if there is anything special to do.
In my jeep i neever had to mix my prestone when it was needed...

Thanks again !

You can buy premixed that can be used right out of the container or concentrated (the normal coolant forever) and mix it 50/50 with distilled water. The premixed is way more expensive in the long run.

Toyota Red (undiluted) or Toyota Pink (already diluted w/ distilled water). Only available at dealers. Bring lots of money, they're very proud of both - but is good stuff and I use it in all my Toyota products.

Wow...I need to lay off the booze. I could've sworn you were trying to find coolant for your A-TRAC.

So does the toyota red still need to be mixed? or just pour straight in.........I dont get this non diluted and diluted stuff

The red is straight antifreeze/coolant. The pink is diluted 50/50. If you buy the straight (non-diluted) you must dilute it yourself. You never run more than a 50/50 mix in the system.

Is there an interval that the coolant should be flushed and replaced, or do we just add if its low?

Every 100,000 miles. Just keep it full until then.
