I've used toyota factory red fluid for the life of my camry and have no complaints. You can buy a gallon from your toyota dealer for about $13. It's helped especially in the texas summer heat!

Yep, Toyota red stuff is the best on the market as far as I know. And if u want to run cooler u should look at Water Wetter from Redline. There was a group buy a while ago use the search .

I have seen that posted before here on TN and never really understood what the Water Wetter is? And what it does? Can someone inform me

water wetter is an additive that i think provides corrosion protection for some metals and also i think slightly improves the heat-abosorption property of the water. i didn't knwo people used it in cars though, i only know this cause of computer watercooling. i guess mabye water wetter is actaully a car product that comp people adopted

Personally I would do exactly as everyone else here has said Toyota Red and redline watter wetter.

My recommendation is to phone a (few) dealers and ask thier opinion if Toyota red is suitable for your model and year.
