Quick Coolant Ques...

Alright, I've read the other threads on coolant and the various colours but nobody mentioned the clear high-mileage stuff, so having said that can I pour some in the resevoir to top up even though I'm running green n'garden hose water 50/50 until I flush the system?

If it says on the label that it's safe with other coolants, yes.

I found a new coolant at NAPA that is gold in color & specifically designed for Toyota aluminum engines. I'm using it successfully on a newly rebuilt 3VZE with @ 2,000 miles on it so far with no issues.
