What coolant do you use?

Just wondering what everyone is running in their rollas?

I currently have Prestone extended life in there...

Found out that it is Dexcool clone, Dexcool the fantastic coolant used by GM vehicles. Some vehicles had gasket compatibility issues resulting in corroded lower intake manifold gaskets.

Wondering if the rolla will have a similar incompatibility. The bottle says all makes all models, but who knows?

Thinking of switching to PEAK conventional green or a G-05.

This thread is a rule breaker man, you can find tons of coolant discussions already. Mine came with the green stuff and I haven't had any issues yet, but I definitely wish that all Toyotas had nothing but Toyota Red in them. Oh well blame it on the one-size-fits-all aftermarket coolant products.

I had a tough time finding results specifically for the rollas.

Thanks for the reply though.
