long life antifreeze coolant or and equivalent
Toyota Long Life Red Coolant or equivalent.
I use the genuine 'Toyota Long life Coolant' it is red in colour
Toyota Pink 50/50 pre-mix long life coolant.
If you waited until the coolant is brown you waited too long. Have the system professionally flushed at that point.
anything that is 3* on the bottle will do as long its ready mixed
In 1975 no manufacturer was really recommending a particular coolant. So any good quality antifreeze will do as long as that is all that is in the system. Don't mix coolant types
Yes, as long as you are certain that it is the coolant reservoir.
Yes as long as it is mixed 50-50 with coolant/antifreeze.
It originally came with green coolant. It is critical that you know what kind of antifreeze your car takes. There are 2 general kinds. Long life and traditional Green coolant. The sensors base data on the correct chemical composition of the one that was originally installed in it. Therefore adding wrong one may cause the ecm to adjust the fuel mixture incorrectly or cause sensor damage. Some vehicles require different long life coolants- GM has Dex-cool, Ford just came out with another, Honda has their own. If the concentration is too great or too weak, it will not work correct. The original coolant in that car was "green coolant". This old style antifreeze should never be mixed with the newer long life coolant, unless it is a "universal" or "global" coolant that is supposedly compatible with both. The coolant capacity is in your owners manual, usually in the "servicing your vehicle" section. And as for the color. Read the temp ratings on the antifreeze bottles, and use whichever you need according to your climate. Be sure to keep in mind the difference between pure antifreeze, and prediluted (50/50 or half water, half antifreeze).
it has long life antifreeze from new the coolant system holds 8.3 litres if you put 3 litres of antifreeze in and the rest in water it will be ok might have a bleed screw on thermast houseing hope his helps Shane
Your 50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water should be right near the top of the radiator ( as long as you can put the cap on without the antifreeze mixture overflowing ) The plastic coolant reservoir in the passenger side of the engine compartment has a cold mark on it , just maintain your coolant level up to the cold mark when the engine is cold . ( Ford recommends to not drop below 40 % antifreeze and not exceed 60 % antifreeze in your engine coolant mixture )
