So I have a 2.5 hour drive this weekend for a camping trip and was checking out all the fluids on the 100. I noticed the coolant in the overflow reservoir was low so I stopped by the auto parts store to grab some coolant. I noticed that the Toyota approved coolant is bright pink, and from what I’ve read, that is the color in all the descriptions I’ve seen for Toyota’s. (I’m a car maintenance newb and have only ever owned GM vehicles). What I found though when I went to refill the overflow reservoir and check the level in radiator was not bright pink it was more of a greenish yellow. (I’ll attach a picture.)
My question is can I mix the two and just top off the overflow for the weekend and then do a coolant flush once I get back, or is that a big no no and I need a coolant flush before I head out.
I’ve also checked all the usual places for any coolant leaks and haven’t found anything.
Thanks
