Lexus Red fluid VS name brand

The new "all makes" coolants save for Peak Global is really Dex-Cool dyed lime green. The only aftermarket coolants I would use would be G-05 in Fords, Euros, and older cars and Peak Global Long Life in Japanese cars. Peak yellow, Toyota Red/Pink and Honda Blue are bottled by CCI in Illinois, but Peak is a universal coolant and from what I've read on BITOG and on the website of a Toyota/Honda specialist is that Toyota Red and Honda Blue are nearly identical.

I've seen dexcool turn to mud... and I've seen lexus/toyota owners being told that the orange stuff (dexcool) is the same as the red at some shops... needless to say I quietly walked out of there. Stick with the OEM fluid, spend a few extra dollars now and save yourself the worry later.
