Coolant Changing

[legendswraith]

Its about that time i need to do a coolant change on the car and i do know that it is advised to use forlife coolant. However after a search around for prices etc (£13/5l) i noticed a post on the other toyota forums that a good ethyl glycol based was ok. I don't know the make up of the forlife so i remain unsure whether to use the other ethyl glycol coolant

any ideas from those in the know?

I bought coolant from Lexus recently when I changed mine. :)

They gave me Toyota stuff.

Wasn't expensive and did the trick... :D

I can check what it is tonight if you want me too? I have it in the garage... :)

I have always used Unipart Antifreeze on everything. Its not cheap but its always done the job.

Toyota red is reccomended for that engine.
