Toyota super long life coolant amazon12/24/2023 not sure why they decided not to make a premixed red. Oh sorry I didn't read into which one, but yes definitely not the same. Additionally the use of Distilled Water is not as recommended these days because apparently the "pure" water actually can cause some weird metallurgic interactions (I need to find a source for this as I had one in another thread someone posted.) Also, diluting LLC does not make it SLLC, I've had some people get that information from even parts departments and it's completely wrong LLC is usually undiluted, while SLLC is pre-mixed. ![]() Toyota SLLC is backwards compatible, meaning your 2002 3rd gen can use it in place of the Toyota LLC, but your 4th gen cannot use Toyota LLC, it needs SLLC or equivalent. Toyota SLLC (Super Long Life Coolant) aka "Toyota Pink" is a NO Silicate formula among some other things and is spec'd for your 2004 4th gen 4Runner and newer. You have to be careful, Toyota LLC (Long Life Coolant) aka "Toyota Red" is what your 2002 3rd Gen 4Runner takes, it is a LOW Silicate formula among some other differences. Way cheaper than amazon zerex asian equivlant Just look around buy it when you meet a free shipping quota and your parts order. if you plan it ahead, its it comes out ~18 per gal (2 after dilution)Ġ0272-1LLAC-01 - Genuine Toyota ANTIFREEZE GALLON W I get its hard to find, but I parked my car for 2-3 days when i realized i was short in my coolant swap. So can anyone answer my original questions.I dont get why people don't use red. I don't have much issue replacing the engine coolant with the Peak Global lifetime but I don't know about the inverter yet. My biggest concern is the inverter as I don't know a whole lot about its cooling system yet. ![]() What I haven't been able to find is many who have used it in their Prius. Many have had positive results putting it in their Toyota, even with the 1.8L. What I have found is that people say that the Peak Global Lifetime is the closest you can get to Toyota SLLC and some say it is superior. I have done a lot of research on the different coolants before I came here. I am quite capable in mechanics as I have been working on vehicles for 21 years and aircraft for 19 years as well as being an engineer so I am not a newbie trying to save two dollars and risking an expensive car. Yes I think that the mfg charges too much for their coolant however, if you read through my post, the main reason is that I prefer 70-30 mix and you cannot get Toyota SLLC or Zerex Asian in concentrate to achieve this. I don't think using the Peak Global Lifetime in the inverter would be any different than using it in the engine. This is good for me as I prefer the 70-30 mix rather than the 50-50.įinally, is there anything special about the inverter coolant? I know it uses the same Toyota SLLC but the interval is 150,000 miles rather than 100,000 miles. A gallon of pre-mix is less than half the price (pep-boys has it on sale for $5.50 - normally $9.99) and you can get it in concentrate which the Toyota SLLC does not. I would like to use the Peak Global Lifetime if it will be ok with the car. ![]() My question is does anyone know for sure if they are compatible with the Toyota SLLC and with the vehicle (seals, gaskets, hoses, aluminum, etc.) My Prius currently has 90,000 miles so in about 6 months or less I will hit 100,000 and will do a flush and fill on the engine coolant. I realize that they probably don't think you will have your car forever, but I hear that it is good for 150,000 miles which is the same interval for the Prius inverter. The manufacturer guarantees it for as long as you own your vehicle if you do a flush and fill. I did some research and found many people say that the Peak Global Lifetime coolant is a great equivalent and can be used to top off the Toyota SLLC and as a flush and fill. Seems pretty steep for coolant and that's only a 50-50 pre-mix. I was looking for the Toyota SLLC and the cheapest I have found it was $23.99. My Prius is a 2011 and has the pink coolant in it. The Hayes Manual says to use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or equivalent. I need to top off both my engine coolant and my inverter coolant.
