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 actually need the anti-freeze for winter here. |
