oil and radiator fluid
Couple questions...
Does the '95 SC400 require special radiator fluid? It's time for my radiator to be flushed and am wondering.
Also, how many quarts of oil does the SC400 take? thanks!

Ans. #2. According to the shop manual, 5.1 qts of oil with filter change. I just change my oil last week and it took more than 5.1 qts. You just have to stop at 5 qts. and added until it is full.

Havoline Extended antifreeze-no phosphates looks like the same stuff from Toyota. I bought the OEM antifreeze but, anything with no phosphates should be fine. The JASO recommends that no silicate anitfreeze shouldn't be used either b/c of premature waterpump failure. Some of the big aftermarket antifreeze companies have this now like, Prestone 5yr-no silicates or phosphates.
I think I paid around $30-$40 when I bought OEM Toyota antifreeze from the Lexus dealer. If you insist buying the OEM coolant. Buy it from a Toyota dealer. It'll be around half the price.

I rather pay $20 for a gallon of Trans. fluid than this red stuff
