Toyota Red vs Pink Coolant...

In addition, ang mga coolant may difference, mga extended life usually sa aluminum radiators, ang mga "older" coolants sa copper, di sila pwede paghalo otherwise namumuo sa metal surface or nagpropromote ng corrosion.

Yeah, as I posted earlier:

Results of industry standard tests of the new Toyota extended-life (PINK) coolant now show a substantial weight loss (corrosion), both in a 50-50 mix and in a 33% coolant mixture (solder corrosion is much greater in this more diluted solution).

Apparently the new Toyota Coolant (PINK) doesn't adequately protect against solder corrosion on our soldered brass/copper radiators.

What about "Peak" brand coolant, is this compatible with jap cars? I've used both the concentrate and the pre-mixed one in our cars.

newer models pala ng toyota like the previa & innova, doesn't require replacement of coolants until 100K kms! and also the spark plugs, 100K kms din daw ang interval.

AFAIK 2004 and later come pre-filled with the PINK extended-life coolant. The organic acids deplete very slowly and can last up to 5 years.
