Default Coolant choices??? Toyota Extra Long Life or others?

Ok. I'm about to do a full flush and fill on my cooling system and from what i've read, the xb is filled with the toyota red extra long life stuff.

So should i stick with the toyota extra long life stuff which costs 20 dollars? Or is there something better or similar that i can use? Let me know.

Well, if you're going to flush the system often, surely there are cheaper options. Make sure you get one with similar specs to the Toyota brand though. You know drill - silicate-free, phosphate-free, etc etc.

Otherwise, just stick with the Toyota stuff, because that stuff lasts for years.

Stay with the Toyota - I think theirs is pink now though.
Make sure to use distilled water too - not tap water.
