Post subject: Coolant color question.
Archived from groups: alt>autos>lexus (more info?)
My coolant level is a little low and I was trying to figure out what to top
it off with. Is the difference in colors between the red and newer pink
coolant that distinctive? My 2003 ES300 should be red, I believe. But it
looks pink to me. Maybe it was changed along the line somewhere. Does it
matter which one I use?

Thanks, Joe

The red coolant is Toyota Long Life Coolant, and the pink is Toyota Super
Long Life Coolant.

Check with your local Toyota dealer parts department for compatibility.

Well mine is definitely a light pink color. So the car must of been serviced
along the line somewhere and thats what they refilled it with.
