Pink coolant

Hi guys has anyone ever tried to use pink coolant in our trucks I’m about ready to do a coolant flush and my heater core went out so I’m gonna drain all the coolant out. I was wondering if Toyota pink coolant would work since I could get it pretty easily.

Re: Pink coolant

Unless you flush thoroughly, You will need to look into potential compatibility issues between Toyota and trace levels of Universal (green) coolant. I know the GM dexcool hates being mixed with anything else and will sludge up tiny coolant passages everywhere.

I’ve of course only used universal. I get 2 gallons of Prestone universal long life concentrate from Walmart and 2 gallons distilled water. For under $30 bucks that will do it for 5+ years.
