red comes undiluted, so mixing it 50/50 with distilled water gives you 2 gallons of coolant which should be enough.

Provided it's pure coolant and not a 50/50 mix, a gallon of it and a gallon of distilled water should do it.

The Toyota red coolant inhibits the buildup of gunk and crust in your coolant system.

I'll be running it when I get the new rad and do the flush. I has crusties all over the place near my hoses and cap. Stupid previous owner and cheap coolant.

It makes big pink scabs wherever it leaks from. I love Toyota Red and Pink coolant! -------------------- |
