Does anyone know what happens if you put green coolant in the Toyota coolant? I know that if green stuff is put in dexcool very bad things happen.

@silkysmooth;
Are'nt you the same member who stated the OEM Thai filters would damage the cars??
I've been using them since day one. 25k miles later, and no probs.

And this has what to do with coolant? I was having problems after an oil change getting oil pressure with the thai filters I bought - On two separate cars in multiple instances. Thats more than coincidence or bad luck. Just relating my experience - doesnt mean it applies to everyone/ situation. I guess I could shut up and say nothing. That may comfort the paranoid types or the Iconoclast that arent comfortable in their own skin ;)
