Well there lies one problem. The toyota coolant is red. The yellow is different. This is Toyota brand bought at the dealer.

Yeah, wow, I just looked this up. I hope I didn't do any damage, I put a good 5k miles on the car with that coolant mixed in with the red. So it looks like dyes are added to differentiate the type - and that's based on chemicals used. So that is, in fact, a problem lol. I'll just look for some red coolant at walmart / advance auto, and I'll try to grab the more expensive one. Thanks so much for pointing this out... I had no idea.

I can safely say that I have probably learned more about cars in the last 2 weeks than someone would learn in two semesters of college
