Confused about coolants
I've just read another thread about the dangers' of mixing Green Universal coolant with Toyota red ...even in an emergency , is it that detrimental to a 2002 ES 300 ,as far as breaking down components of water pump and TB are concerned, I know Toyota dealer feel it's basically trashing your engine to do this,and if that's so...why would maker's of the "Green Stuff" print right on thier gallons, Safe for all and any engine? Does anybody know the Truth the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth about this issue ???

It does get confusing, your 2002 car was filled with Toyota Red which is not the same as Pink.. Misinformation and incomplete answers (like the above) make it even more confusing. Mixing coolants can cause problems there is a lot of good information on this site what your options are. You can still find undiluted ( instead of the diluted) Red which you can mix with distilled water for the best value.
