What standard coolant does the eighth generation (2018 Camry Hybrid) use? It has two brake fluid storage compartments, does it use a standard coolant?

Get the OEM fluid at the dealer, Amazon or an online dealer that sells oem toyota parts at a discount. Yeah it's more expensive but the original fill is good for 100k and then each one after is good for 50k. Don't confuse break reservoir with coolant containers. Brake fluid is clear to golden in color and coolant is pink. Both coolant reservoirs take the same coolant. One is for the engine and the other is for the inverter/converter of the hybrid system. I wouldn't feel comfortable using aftermarket fluid on the hybrid side.

Thank you, you are super nice, the information you provide is very important.

My car has driven 170k miles and my coolant (pink) is now on the "low" line. I may need to add some coolant. It costs $170 to replace the coolant in the garage. I am now more confused about the need to replace or just add a bit. Because it may only cost 10-20 US dollars if added.
