Chris and Alana Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I used halfords advanced stuff (or what ever it's called) anyway it's red and is an ethylene glycol based antifreeze (I think that's the important bit) and cost £12 for 5L concentrate (with trade card) I think it was £15 normally. Isnt the red 4 life stuff pre mixed? If so you would need 2 bottles. I think the supra takes 9L of fluid. So it would cost you £35.88 from toyota or about £15 from halfords (1 5L concentrate).

Tricky-Ricky Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Any modern antifreeze is fine, does the same as red stuff from Toyota and costs a dam site less;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The ever dependable Chris Wilson says it's not worth the extra, so I'd believe him. Basically it turns a brown colour when it needs changing - if you can live without that it's not worth the extra dosh IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyW Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 This is the Halfords one: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_219452_langId_-1_categoryId_33923 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 There is a school of thought that goes, its got extra corrosion inhibitors that is especially suitable to the alloy Toyota use:rolleyes:, and it has a "water wetter" additive as well, but i have yet to see any hard evidence of this, millions of cars including Aston Martin and Bentley run quite happily on proprietary stuff, so i am quite happy not to add to Toyota's already full coffers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this ready mixed stuff last week.
