Incidentally, I've heard that Valvoline/Ashland (the mfr. Other than the factory Toyota "super long-life" coolant (pink), which is $18.50 (wholesale price) per gallon (50/50 pre-mixed), and unavailable in concentrate form, the only coolant I found locally that met this spec was the Zerex Asian Vehicle coolant. On the passenger side, it's pretty easy to reach up from underneath the truck and pop the hose on.īoth drain valve bolts can be reached from the topside (with a suitably long extension).Īs it says in the FSM, you will need a "non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate, and non-borate" coolant with long-life "hybrid organic acid" (HOAT) technology. Then, I used an 8" extension (10mm socket) to open the drain petcock.Ĭareful, the petcock and valve are brass, and it's easy to bend, break, or round off the bolt head. I was able to reach down from the top (the only other way to access the drain) and pop the drain hose on. On other posts here, I saw that some guys removed the plastic wheel well cover to get at the driver's side drain. I used some 5/16" clear tubing (available at hardware stores) to run down from the drains to my pan. The driver's side drain is directly under the front left cylinder exhaust outlet, and the passenger side drain is directly under the rear right cylinder exhaust outlet. Even with the FSM showing the locations of the drains, they're still not easy to find. To make things easier, I went ahead and removed both skid plates (I couldn't get at the radiator drain petcock without removing the front skidplate, and I took the other one off to make it easier to try to look up and see where the engine drains were). Neither engine block coolant drain is visible from the top. Utillizing all three drains, I was only able to drain about 8 quarts (including reservoir). Yes, you want the Super Long Life Coolant. 50K miles for SLLC.) And you are right that LLC is concentrated, you should mix with distilled water to achieve 50 / 50 ratio. The FSM states that the total coolant capacity is 10.3 US quarts. Since you already bought and opened it, you can use it but note that the service life of LLC is only 30K miles (vs.

Here is a link to the factory service manual page, over on the North Carolina Toyota Tacoma Off-Road Association forum: I followed the service manual instructions to a "t" and didn't have any trouble. It was really pretty easy once I figured out where the engine block coolant drains were. The red coolant has a much shorter life and needs to be changed every 50,000 km (30,000 miles) or every 2 years.I just performed this service yesterday. Toyota claims that their Pink Coolant is good for up to 160,000 km (100,000 miles) or 10 years for the factory fill and then needs to be changed every 100,000 km (60,000 miles) or 5 years after that. Which Toyota Coolant is the Longest Lasting? What Are the Ingredients of Toyota Pink Super Long Life Coolant? The red coolant on the other hand is an IAT (inorganic acid technology) that is considered to be more “conventional” but still longer-lasting than some other coolants on the market. The pink coolant is an OAT (organic acid technology) that typically has a longer service life. No, Toyota Pink Coolant is not just premixed Red. Is Toyota Pink Coolant Just Premixed Red? These are two main coolants available from Toyota and while they look similar, there are some differences. So, it is time to change the coolant in your Toyota, but you are wondering what is better, Toyota Red Long Life Coolant or Toyota Pink Super Long Life Coolant.
