    Parents bought this anti-freeze for me, don't know if this is right to use since it says for RVs, but online it says pink can work with it, BUT i've also seen conflicting things. Any help? If I'm not using this anti-freeze which one should I pick up?

    That’s are for water pipe protection (winterization) and not up for automotive engine duty.

    I would grab some Zerex Asian, any color works but Red would match what Toyota puts in. (I was thinking of phasing in Blue eventually to match the zillion Honda’s in my life and simplify purchasing but that’s not really relevant to you)

    That is for winterizing the water pipes in a RV or cabin when putting it up for the season. It is a different chemical than used in automotive cooling/heating systems

    Funnily enough, even though the box is red and listings usually refer to it as red, it's pink!

    Not to be confused with Zerex G40 where the box IS pink.

    Look at that great system in the pic. 2 guys (or 4 handed mechanic) to add coolant. I wonder what the pay is for a designated coolant stabilizing technician? :rolleyes:
