Toyota Red Coolant, does it make a difference? Options

[wuhukf]

I just bought a new Koyo aluminum radiator and since i'm flushing out the old coolant anyways, I wanted to put in something better. The previous owner used green coolant, but I know that Toyota uses red coolant. Is there a difference between the red and the other colors? I prefer to use Toyota stuff, but of course it costs more too.

I was reading stuff onlne and they said that toyota's red coolant isn't that great. Here's an excerpt from one of the sites I was reading:

"The Toyota red coolant on the other hand seems to age just as fast as the old style coolant, is impossible to litmus test (because of the red dye), and seems to generate a lot of radiator clogging residue. We recommend removing the Toyota coolant and installing Prestone as soon as the warranty expires. The Mazda orange coolant is reportedly different from the Greens and Toyota red, so unless we find out it's safe to do otherwise, we're going to recommend continuing to use the Genuine coolant in cars with orange coolant."
