![]() ![]() The product can be safely mixed with Genuine TOYOTA coolants. TOTACHI SUPER LONG LIFE ANTIFREEZE Red is specially recommended for modern engines where the enhanced protection of aluminum against high-temperature corrosion is required. ![]() Been running it for years in several of our vehicles and family's vehicles. Lexus and Daihatsu vehicles, which require the use of Toyota Super Long Life Coolant. The only Toyota the Zerex isn't in is my wife's '19 Corolla. My rig is 5.5 years old and I've done 2 DAFs in the last couple of years. I personally just don't like mixing different colors just because it's messier looking. With that in mind, it's better to stick with OE or Zerex Pink juice to keep the color consistent.though the color itself isn't that important. In my opinion catching coolant early and doing a simple drain and fill (DAF) on the radiator every couple of years will thwart most internal rot. No worries 's compatible with SLLC regardless of what people say. As for how long it can last? Generally speaking SLLC is around 5 years/100k miles.though some models are reported to call for 10 year/150k. But it does need to changed once in awhile to maintain proper corrosion protection. Most people just don't think about coolant. Old coolant breaks down and can form a mild acid (and develop a voltage), so sticking to Toyota’s 30,000 (for LLC Red coolant) and 100,000 (for SLLC Pink coolant) is important in keeping your car healthy.ĬARspec offers coolant replacement starting at $85 – a price point roughly half of most dealerships.Click to expand.Time and mileage both play a factor. It also helps to keep rubber hoses and lines from deteriorating on the inside like on this T100. Check this out for an example.īeyond keeping the engine’s temperatures in check, coolant protects the internal passages of the engine from rusting and corroding out. It also has the advantage of forming readily identifiable deposits when it leaks, making find a leak easier. This coolant is premixed with water and doesn’t require dilution. This is pink in color and has a 100,000 mile initial replacement interval, followed by 50,000 miles thereafter. This provides freeze protection below -60 degrees (if you see anything close to this temperature you should leave your car running all the time).Īfter 2004, Toyota and Lexus switched to Super Long Life Coolant.

This keeps the engine from overheating and prevents fluid inside the engine from freezing in the cold. Antifreeze has a higher boiling point and lower freeze point than water. CARspec recommends mixing your Long Life Coolant in a 60% coolant 40% water ratio. Antifreeze, or coolant, helps to keep your engine at the proper temperature and prevent corrosion. Dilution is important to get right – too much coolant reduces the ability to cool the engine, too little makes the coolant more likely to freeze in the coldest parts of the winter. Because it comes in a pure concentrate, it must be diluted with water before you put it in your engine. Before 2004 for most models, Toyota used a red-dyed, concentrated coolant with a 30,000 mile change interval, called Long Life Coolant. ![]()
