I've seen some water pumps failed in a matter of 4 months ( OEM pump on a camry 2001 ) and some engine badly corroded for something as simple as topping off your coolant with the wrong stuff,.
I know a lot of you already know this, but for those who don't and a reminder for the ones who have forgotten. READ ! --------------------  |

depends on the dealership. Usually 26 dollars give or take. (iirc that's what i payed recently)
Pricy- But it's worth it IMHO. With a name like TOYOTA FOR LIFE; and knowing they have several formulas; And having the guy ask the yr/make/model of your car before he sells you a bottle- HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT IT"S THE BEST DAMN THING YOU CAN BUY FOR YOUR 6GEN!??!?!?! -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!
