It's not compatible with red, nothing is. Red is the Maverick of the anti-freeze world. It's a loner and doesn't mix well with anything, bar its friend water; once those two get together, they're almost inseparable.

For a grumpy git you're reliably amusing to.


Toyota's Red coolant goes yellow if you have exhaust gasses in the coolant, sure it isn't used Genuine coolant?....

Does it matter? (not being sarcastic, really wondering)

I thought Toyota red was compatible with all aluminum engines.

Reason I asked is because a friend of mine with an LN130 recently replaced his coolant with some stuff he got from the Internet which was colourless & he was mixing it with the green stuff but so far it's been fine. I know some members have used halfords own brands but as "ALBANNACH" said don't add anything to red accept red.

I just didn't want JGS600 to add yellow to red & frig his cooling system up.

thats ok mine is green with a bit of blue, just thought i would put the posting up about the yellow stuff as i havent seen it before and i might be mistaken but im sure the bottle stated it could be used with any colour coolant.
