Regular coolant.
Toyotas regular coolant was died red. It is compatible with any green regular good old fashioned coolant.
Adding green coolant will turn the color of the coolant brown unless it is flushed.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!
whar steps do I take after draing the coolant from the radiator. I have a 1999 chysler 300m. Should the engine be running while replacing the coolant. This car does not have a radiator cap to remove. Do I just add the coolant in the resivor while the engine is running?
if the coolant looked red/pink/orange than it was dexcool and the new radiator should be filled with dexcool only. Most of the time you will need to mix it 50/50 with water. Sometimes it will come premixed and it will be labeled as premix.
If the old coolant was green than regular green coolant is what you need. Again you can sometimes find it premixed but if not it will need to be mixed 50/50 with water.
this car just takes regular old green coolant. make sure you purchase a quality one, and follow the directions on the jug for mixing instructions - typically 50 / 50 if bought pure (not premixed).
Any standard antifreeze coolant will work. If you live in the lower Midwest USA as I do, you can actually mix regular antifreeze 50/50 with water and you run no risk of it freezing. Detailed mixing instructions should be available on most antifreeze containers. Best of luck.
That bike came from the factory with regular green antifreeze/coolant mixed 50/50 with distilled water. You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells automotive products.
The only way it should be anything other than that would be if someone has changed it over, which is rare.
