![]() ![]() I then poured more coolant from the jug thru a strainer and saw more of this substance. cups of the Zerex coolant I noticed white flaky material in the bottom of the cup. I normally just pour from the coolant jug, but got anal as I wanted to know exactly how much went back in during this first change/refill. of Zerex Asian Formula - red label - to use as a replacement. A little different story than the other Zerex coolant threads.Ī couple of weeks ago I changed the factory fill coolant in my '15 Tacoma 4.0L - it too uses Toyota's SLLC. This is an old thread, but I do not like starting redundant ones, so I'll post what I have to say here. I didn't do in depth analysis on this but wanted to post my observations and pics for others to use as a reference when looking at the same issue. I will be doing a second drain and fill next weekend, and then do one drain and fill every year as preventative maintenance to keep the coolant fresh. I used Toyota SLLC and did my first drain and fill (1 gallon). ![]() I'm sure the Zerex Asian would work fine but with the price difference being only $6.00/gallon there was no reason for me to cut that corner. I would not mind using the Zerex Asian if i was doing the total flush but I did not want to mix the two and leave it like that long term. I bought both but ended up returning the Zerex Asian. Toyota Red and SLLC were said to be compatible and backwards compatible with Pink being the new and improved version. #TOYOTA SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT EQUIVALENT FULL#I found many people who said using Zerex Asian was ok, however most of them stated they were doing a full flush of all the antifreeze and not just doing a drain and fill or topping off their existing Toyota Coolant (Red or Pink). Both have the the same temperature ratings. ![]() The main ingredients are similar but there are definite differences in the two compositions. I just wanted to post some pictures, prices, and the ingredients of both to give further resources to those looking at their options.Ģ) Ingredients: Ethylene Glycol (107-21-1), Water (), Diethylene Glycol (111-46-6), Sodium Benzoate (532-32-1), Corrosion Inhibitors, Defoamers, Dye, and Bittering Agent.ģ) Engineered by Valvoline for Asian Vehicles (Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Hundai, Mitsubishi)Ģ) Ingredients:Water (), Ethylene Glycol (107-21-1), Diethylene Glycol (111-46-6), Sebacic Acid (111-20-6), Potassium Hydroxide ().ĥ) Price: $19.00/gallon (At local Toyota Dealer) One that typically came up was the Zerex Asian sold at NAPA. I read up on a lot of forums concerning the use of alternate coolants instead of using Toyota SLLC. I just wanted to refresh the coolant already in my system. I plan on doing 2 or three drain in fills over the course of the next three weeks. I did not want to do a complete flush, just a drain and fill of the radiator. I needed to do a drain and fill on my 04. ![]()
