[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 452460, member: 4527"] I remember reading somewhere that all coolant uses a dye (blue/red/green) for its color and the color will run to turn clear when it losses its properties. That itself is an indicator to replace it. Toyota first practice 40k coolant replacement interval, now I heard they have extended it to 80k km. I also heard they have one type that can last 160k km.. :eek: Too bad our reservoir is not translucent, so we can't see its color nor rust sediments. Coolant is very harmful to environment. So I rather run extended period as long as my temperature stays low and no sign of rust sediment... which both also visually not possible in my car.. :( :stupid: [/QUOTE]
