That is the complete opposite. What year is your ES?

Not true. The red Toyota coolant only damages your wallet.

The red Toyota Coolant is probably the best money can buy. I personally use the Green coolant in my RX, but my ES has the Toyota coolant and I will continue to use only that.

Whatever you do, please do not mix the two. Or else you will create a new definition to gelling.
