![]() However, in 2008, you made a statement I would like to correct. All measurements are very accurate.Ī side note: Patric Wong, you are a terrific poster who has helped many with your excellent advise. If I am, how do I get the air out? I bled two tablespoons of liquid from the bleed valve without getting any air after the air stopped coming out. Also, am I in danger of harming the inverter because I am a cup short of putting back in what I took out. Would someone help me and let me know if I should immediately drain, flush and refill the inverter with Toyota coolant or if I am good to go because it is a "similar" coolant. * I'm not a chemist and don't recognize these listed in the ingredients I note the following Toyota requirements vs Prestone: (Coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.) ![]() Only use "Toyota Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, not-amine, not-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybride organic acid technology. This coolant uses a special chemistry and technology that extends the life of the corrosion inhibitor package so that it lasts for five years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first), and is safe for all cars and light trucks (old or new). Prestone® 50/50 Extended Life Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant Extended Life (AF-2100) Water, Ethylene Glycol, 2-Ethyl Hexanoic Acid Sodium Salt, Sodium Hydroxide, Neodecanoic Acid Sodium Salt, Sodium Tolytriazole, Dye, n-Propanol, Polypropylene Glycoįor those consumers who would feel more comfortable using a phosphate-free antifreeze, our Prestone® Extended Life 50/50 Antifreeze/Coolant is phosphate, silicate, and borate free. Researching the issue, I think it may not be equal and Prestone has yet to return my call or answer my questions. I purchased and used Prestone as the local autoparts store said it was equal. (I drained 2 quarts plus one cup, but could only put back in a tablespoon less than two quarts, even after a week of driving.) My problem is I think I might have screwed up and put in incompatable coolant. I changed the inverter coolant as per usbseawolf2000's youtube video. I've looked through the posts now for several days and cannot find an answer to my current problem. I live in very rural Maine and there is no Toyota stealerships near by. I now have 101,000 and need to do the recommended maintenance. I just purchase a use 2005 with 94,000 and am very pleased with the car.
