To make you feel better, I have the Genuine Super-duper Red Toyota Coolant and have the cold engine light too.

You don't need to wait, you can drive it, but slower and no rapid acceleration.

If I were you, I would use the green coolant for up to 2 years and then flush it out and put Toyota red back.

BTW, are you single? I would be happy to help you with your car problems for free.

Thank you, this actually does make me feel better. At least I don't feel like I'm in a huge rush to change it anymore.
