Antifreeze Prestone or OEM Toyota
I only ever use Prestone universal coolant, from my newer car to my 1962 bulldozer.
My last vehicle was an RX350 which I had for 14 years with 115,000 miles before trading it in and had zero leaks. I flushed/replaced the coolant at 100,000.
Proton original radiator is of very poor quality. Rust prone. Change it as soon and use premixed Toyota Coolant bought from Toyota Service Center to avoid fakes. Toyota SLLC and an aftermarket radiator will last the remaining lifetime of your Saga.
I just use prestone, it's green coolant. It's universal for all fuel types and coolant systems. I have never had any issues in the many years I have been using it.
My mechanic just switched my antifreeze to “Prestone yellow”. He said it’s for cars with high mileage (150k and higher) he said it’s softer on our old hoses and such! Car is running great.
Pink colored Toyota Coolant. My friend is a former mechanic and he recommended this over Honda's.
I've only ever used Prestone which works great and has never been an issue.
I use prestones all weather,Great stuff
that prestone that says it can be mixed with any type of coolant can do just that. You can mix it with pretty much anything and it won't cause a problem. The industry is well aware that if you mix certain types of coolants, you will end up with a sludge so they make this prestone stuff too be compatible with everything. Now, just because it's compatible, doesn't mean it will last as long as some of the other coolants when they are 100% the exact coolant.
I stopped at the gas station, got a gallon of good old tried and true Prestone Green which destroyed a water cooled alternator.
