Anti Freeze/Radiator

I just bought a 99 Camry that has 127,000 on it. It has been mostly dealer maintained. The problem is that the radiatior antifreeze seems to be a redish purple color, is this a problem? Also what is the proper anti freeze to use, its a 4 cyl.

Toyota's use red/pink coolant. Of course they recommend using nothing else but I did a complete flush and fill with Prestone and had no problems. Think many others have done the same. Just make sure it has the correct formula for your engine/radiator.

The '99 Camry uses the red Long Life Coolant.
