Thought I would start a thread re Toyota Red coolant so people can find information about it easier when searching.
Please add to the thread re your experiences of using it.
I first came across it here IIRC, many thanks to Ian Durrant!

Toyota Red is often recommended, I have had it in my Stag for a while now, all good! It is IAT (inorganic acid technology). Toyota say it is for their vehicles before 2004. Lasts for 5 years.
Toyota also do a Super long life coolant which is PINK, this is OAT based, lasts for 10 years and I believe is for (Toyota) vehicles after 2004 years. I have NOT seen this recommended by anyone for use in a Stag.
The Toyota red you need is part number 0888980014 - 'Toyota Long Life Coolant - Concentrated - Red - 5 Litres'
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-T...72.m2749.l2649
They also do a pre-mixed version at twice the price(ish), part number 0888980002. 'Toyota Long Life Coolant - Pre-Mixed - Red - 5 Litres'
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-T....c100008.m2219
I just use the 0888980014 concentrate above. My tap water is very soft so I just mix it with that. I have a Volvo header tank and I use about 4.75 litres of the concentrate for a complete system fill after a flush.
Cheers
Keith
