What is it?

Long story, short - DO NOT ADD ANYTHING BUT DISTILLED WATER TO THE "LONG LIFE" COOLANTS. The Toyota red seems to be a bit more forgiving than Dexcool and the others, but they are still WAY more sensitive than good ole' green coolant.

IMHO, flushing the cooling system every couple years is a fine price to pay to not have all the cooling system issues I have experienced with the Impala running Dexcool (basically, the ENTIRE cooling system has had to be replaced due to Dexcool gelling up)

I don't see anything about compatibility with OAT based coolants, but it does say it has it's own corrosion preventive package in it, so no way would I use it with Toyota red based on what I've seen so far.
