May I use RV antifreeze in my car's radiator?
What about in a toyota, which, when it comes to auto antifreeze, insists on the red (iirc) stuff?
When I go away in the winter and want to turn my heat off, I buy a gallon of RV antifreeze and put it in the traps of the sinks, shower, bathtub, toilets. Last time I had about 1/10th of a gallon left over and it's not enough for next time, if there is one, so what is something worthwhile I can do with it?
No, you may not.
You don't value your cooling system?
Save it for the next time.
You certainly may. You needed a new car anyway.
You also need anti boil.
ROFLMAO!
It's pink antifreeze in Toyotas. It's silicate free and maintains the health of your water pump, not to mention buildup in the coolant passages. I wouldn't use any other coolant than Toyota antifreeze in Toyotas despite the "universal" labels. It's not that expensive anyway.
The other benefit of the Toyota branded *coolant* is that it preserves the radiator hoses.
