Is this Toyota factory coolant?
Never bought some at the dealer, so I don't know what the bottle looks like. Thanks!

Wow. Thanks guys. It must be some sort of Toyota copyright thing where they can't show the name on the website...I dunno.
In any case, is $20 per bottle shipped a good price?

I just flushed my system and when i emptyed it it was green so i put it back in there. Should i drain it again and change to Red? Will that cause any problems with the differnt types as you can't get every drop out?

You should try to use either just one or the other. I would prefer Toyota coolant because I've always stuck with factory stuff (except for factory oil. expensive!). It is not a good idea to mix green with red, because they actually separate (they don't like each other???). So if you are changing to red, it is a good idea to get the old green stuff flushed out, not just drained out.

If it says aluminum safe (and most do), then it's ok to use.
Nothing particularly special about the Toyota badged one.
Y'all are talking kinda like Toyota makes it and they don't.
It's rebadged.

But this brings up a good question....who makes Toyota OIL? I asked the dealer when I was there the other day and he didn't know, I couldn't believe it. New Toyotas would ship from the factory with "Toyota oil", right? But who *makes it?

The Toyota coolant's definitely going in...not so sure about the oil though.
Thanks.

Mobil is first fill for several Car Manufactures. That is what they roll off the line with. Use what ever oil you like but make sure it meets the specs for your vehicle.
