Coolant?

[MR2Jedi]

What coolant do you guys recommend for 2nd gen MR2 Turbo running 15psi with stock thermostat? and what mix?

[clem]

use redline water wetter!

Toyota 'red' with distilled water (after a full flush using distilled water) and add Red Line Water Wetter. your choice as to what ratio water/coolant. i think i am @ 55/45

[MR2Jedi]

OK, thanks... but I haven't seen Redline water wetter anywhere in this area. Or any redline products for that matter. Where do you guys get yours from?

OK, Thanks, Tech..I'll give them a try

Arizona? ... I assume you never see freezing temps, if so .... plain old distilled water.
Maybe throw in a bottle of Redline Water Wetter.

^ AR = Arkansas....

[JekylandHyde]

AR AZ .... same difference :p

Seriously, neither one sees freezing temps - correct (except in the mountains).

[MR2Jedi]

yeah, we don't see below freezing temps here too often. but it does happen a few times per winter. So what would you suggest knowing that?

[JekylandHyde]

Toyota's red coolant with whatever mix they suggest.
That's what I have always run + a bottle of Redline water wetter.

[MR2Jedi]

OK, that seems to be the concensous here. Thats the route I will go. It will address the rare freezing temps and rust issues..Thanks guys!

[ToyotaTechGeek]

i would NOT run straight distilled water...even with the Water Wetter. yes, it now has a rust inhibitor, but it's not enough.

[MR2Jedi]

Ok, Well, what do you think of Toyota Red/Distilled Water (about 50/50) and Water Wetter?

[ToyotaTechGeek]

sounds about right.
