What is the mileage or time change interval for the toyota super long life coolant (pink color). I have own my car since 2006 and the coolant was replace when the 90k service was done back in September of 2007. The mileage currently is at 138k. Now i've search the internet and some are saying that the pink color coolant should last 90k for the first change interval, then 50k there after. Is this correct.

Your owners manuall has the final word.

Well, if i follow the manual it would be for the long life coolant (red color) which is 50k change interval, i believe. When i bought the car used, it already came with the new super long life coolant (pink color). So obviously the previous owner change the red coolant to the newer version of the pink color coolant. So anybody out there who owns a 2004 lexus es300 and above, could you tell me what does your user manual says about changing the pink coolant. Thanks...

What a lazy answer. 50,000 sounds about right. It's a very simple procedure if you have a couple of ramps or jack stands. Let me know if you need help, because I replaced my coolant (engine and radiator) last summer. A drain and refill should be just fine, unless it's really yucky, then you'll need to flush it.

Thanks Mrbooby and GS4_Fiend for the clarification.
Mrbooby: Can you help me locate the rear engine drain ****. I've looked at pictures of the RX300 and the drain **** is right under the power steering pump or close to it.

In Australia the SLLC is supposed to last 150,000 to 160,000 kms depending on which vehicle it is in: https://toyota.pressroom.com.au/pres...ID=2&prID=1023

If you have a 2006, I think it might have come new with the Pink/SLL. They started using it around then or a year earlier IIRC.

If you are draining the block, to get to that rear bank plug what I recall doing was:
1) With the car on jack stands, laying on your back with your feet toward the front and head toward the back of the car.
2) Sight up along the header pipe coming from the rear bank cat and then you should see it off to one side of the pipe.
3) You can get at it with a few long extensions on your ratchet, maybe a wobble joint, I don't recall exactly as it has been a while.
