Toyota is a Japanese concern, one of the leaders in global automobile production. Cars of this brand are distinguished by a variety of models, affordable prices, and high quality. To make them last longer, the concern recommends using only original fluids, including antifreeze. They are produced to order by the company at the best oil refineries in Europe and Japan.
Product Description
Toyota pink antifreeze is produced on the basis of polypropylene glycol with the addition of modern corrosion inhibitors. It is based on carboxylate (organic) technology. This means that the composition does not contain silicates, as well as nitrates and other components that lead to the formation of deposits. And the corrosion inhibitors involved are concentrated where they are needed most. This provides excellent technical characteristics - optimal heat transfer and heat removal from the operating internal combustion engine, protection against rust and deposits, high-quality lubrication and wear protection.
Antifreeze is available in two forms: Toyota Super Long Life Coolant Concentrated (concentrate) and Toyota Super Long Life Coolant Pre-Mixed (ready-to-use). The first requires dilution with water. And the second is suitable down to -40 degrees Celsius.
Product characteristics
The manufacturer produces two types of consumables for cars. These include:
- Original Long Life Coolant antifreeze;
- Advanced Super Long Life Coolant.
Until 2002, the first type of solution was used at the plant for the initial refueling of cars. But after 2002, Toyota Super Long Life antifreeze was developed, which is used in most cases today.
These consumables are quite similar. They are created on the basis of high-quality propylene glycol, contain anti-corrosion components and a package of effective additives. However, each antifreeze is different; for this reason, solutions cannot be mixed.
Although Super Long Life is now widely used for factory refilling, its predecessor should not be underestimated. Toyota LLC can be found for sale and successfully used for your car.
Both products are prepared both as a ready-made solution and as a concentrated liquid. The latter variety should be diluted with water depending on the desired result. The optimal proportion is mixing 50/50. This ratio allows you to protect the car down to temperatures of -40 degrees.
It is best to dilute antifreeze with distilled water. Under no circumstances should water from lakes and rivers be used for this purpose.
If it is not possible to purchase original consumable fluid, you can select analogues. You can mix antifreezes produced by different companies only in case of urgent need. This may negatively affect the properties of the solution and cause the entire fluid to be replaced.
Both consumables have undergone extensive testing and laboratory testing. They fully comply with quality standards. The positive effect of antifreeze is confirmed by reviews from car owners.
Long Life Coolant (LLC)
LLC coolant (red Toyota antifreeze) is a classic version of a consumable product with the addition of effective additives and anti-corrosion additives. Its use helps protect the vehicle's cooling system and prevents corrosion.
This antifreeze can be used for both Toyota passenger cars and trucks. When you first refill the solution, it will last for three years. Subsequent replacements will need to be made approximately every two years.
The product can be purchased in branded canisters of 1 l, 4 l, 5 l and 60 l. If necessary, this consumable liquid can be mixed with hybrid and silicate solutions.
Super Antifreeze (SLLC)
Coolant Super Long Life Coolant pink (Toyota SLLC) is an antifreeze containing propylene glycol, created using carboxylate technology. It does not contain harmful substances such as nitrates, nitrites and silicates. This product is not only effective, but also environmentally friendly.
Long service life is an undoubted advantage of Toyota pink antifreeze. One application is enough for 5 years. This consumable product can be used for cars with different types of engines.
The solution has anti-corrosion and anti-foam properties and effectively prevents the effects of cavitation. It increases engine life and maintains normal operating temperature. This antifreeze can be purchased in 2 liter, 4 liter and 5 liter canisters.
SLLC pink should not be mixed with other solutions. The prepared variety (not the concentrate) cannot be diluted with water under any circumstances. Otherwise, coagulation will occur and the cooling system will stop working.
Application area
If it is difficult to decide what antifreeze to pour into a Toyota, you should opt for this product. Toyota Super Long Life antifreeze is recommended for all modern trucks and cars of this brand. It also meets the requirements of not only Japanese, but also other Asian, American, and European manufacturers.
Used for conveyor filling.

Description of original Toyota antifreezes
Toyota antifreeze line
Currently, there are two original Toyota antifreezes:
- Toyota Long Life Coolant;
- Toyota Super Long Life Coolant.
Until 2002, at the factory, Toyota cars were filled with predominantly the first antifreeze - LLC. Since 2002, it was replaced by a second one - Super LLC. Now it is this that is used in most models of this brand.
However, both antifreezes have a lot in common. Each of them is based on the highest quality propylene glycol, as well as powerful corrosion inhibitors and balanced modern additives. But everyone has their own, so mixing these two antifreezes is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, the mixture will be significantly inferior in quality to separately used coolants.
Despite the fact that Toyota cars now primarily use Super Long Life coolant for factory filling, its predecessor should not be written off. Antifreeze Toyota LLC can still be purchased for use in a personal vehicle, on sale and in containers of various sizes.
From a general point of view, it is also worth noting that both refrigerants are produced both as a ready-to-use coolant and as a concentrate. The latter is not suitable for use in its pure form; it must be diluted with water. How to dilute, in what proportion, depends on the climatic conditions in which the coolant is supposed to be used, and the maximum sub-zero temperature in the region. The optimal ratio, suitable even for the northern regions, is considered to be one to one. At the same time, protection will be provided to an average of minus 40 degrees Celsius. The minimum volume of concentrate should be one third of the total volume of liquid, and the maximum should be 70%.
It is best to mix concentrated antifreeze with distilled water, but if this is not available, you can also use tap water. Diluting the concentrate with water from rivers, lakes, and natural wells is strictly prohibited.
Important! If it is not possible to buy antifreeze recommended by the Toyota manufacturer, then analogues with the appropriate base and additive package can be used for replacement. It is better not to mix antifreezes from different manufacturers unless absolutely necessary; this can significantly deteriorate their characteristics and reduce their service life.
Both Toyota antifreezes have undergone numerous tests and tests, according to the results of which it can be stated that they comply with all manufacturer’s statements and international requirements and industry standards. Positive reviews from car enthusiasts confirm this.

Choosing antifreeze for Corolla 150
The cooling system of the first Toyota Corolla 150 was filled with proprietary Long Life Coolant (LLC) antifreeze. Its article number is 0888980015, and the cost is 600-900 rubles. The coolant is red in color and is sold in concentrated form. It should be diluted with deionized water in a ratio of 50:50 or 40:60.
The use of distilled water to dilute the concentrate is prohibited. Many car owners note that with this mixing, sediment precipitates and flakes form. All this can lead to clogging of the cooling system circuit and cause the engine to overheat. For dilution, it is recommended to use Ravenol destilliertes Wasser with article number 4014835300514.
Most Toyota Corolla 150 vehicles use pink Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) part number 0888980140. It is sold ready to fill. At the same time, official dealers recommend converting cars from LLC to SLLC, having first flushed the cooling circuit. The cost of pink liquid ranges from 800 to 3000 rubles.
Despite the fact that the manufacturer prohibits diluting SLLC antifreeze with water, many car owners claim that the coolant should still be diluted with water in a 50:50 ratio before filling. In this case, it is necessary to use exclusively deionized water, for example, Ravenol destilliertes Wasser.
It is prohibited to add distilled water or other antifreeze to Toyota Super Long Life Coolant. In most cases, this leads to the appearance of sediment and flakes, which significantly impair heat dissipation. However, do not mix original red and pink coolants. They are completely incompatible and undergo a violent chemical reaction.
At the same time, the automaker allows the use of antifreeze from third-party companies. Before filling them, the system must be thoroughly flushed. The best options for the Corolla 150 are shown in the table below.
Table - Antifreeze for Corolla 150 from third-party manufacturers
Instructions for use
Ready-made antifreeze is intended for direct pouring into the vehicle cooling system. The concentrate should be pre-diluted with distilled water. In a climate where frosts can reach -40 degrees Celsius, the optimal ratio is 1:1. In general, the content of the concentrating liquid can vary from 33 to 70%.
This fluid should be changed for the first time in a new Toyota upon reaching 160 thousand km. In the future - every 80 thousand km or every 5 years. This period should vary based on the actual operating conditions and technical condition of the machine. Before first use or after using another type of antifreeze, it is recommended to flush the cooling system.
Reviews
David, 52 years old I use new Toyota antifreeze, Super Long Life. It has a much more modern composition and higher quality than the simple one. Well, you can change it less often. Just don't mix it with anything.
Vadim, 46 years old I advise everyone to use a concentrate rather than a ready-made Super Long Life cooler. Why? Because the price, to be honest, is a bit steep, and the concentrate is much cheaper. In addition, it can be bred in accordance with your weather; if there are no severe frosts, it will be even cheaper.
Arthur, 37 years old Long Life is an excellent antifreeze for Toyota. Never thickens, foams or boils. I use it like I bought a car, and I see no point in experimenting and looking for something else.
Ivan, 35 years old I have been using the original Long Life in my Toyota for a long time. I can say that in the five years that I have had this car, I have never had any problems caused by antifreeze. The cooling system is in perfect order, as is the engine.
How to spot a fake
The most reliable way to buy original Toyota SLLC antifreeze is from an official distributor. However, this is not always possible. If you have to buy from a dubious store, you should pay attention to whether it is a fake. The following signs that distinguish the original will help:
- mandatory indication of the date of release and bottling, where they are produced, main characteristics, tolerances;
- high quality of the canister and absence of defects and signs of opening;
- even sticking of labels, without glue drips or folds;
- clear text printing, without blurred or erased areas, without grammatical errors.
The liquid itself is transparent, without sediment, pink in color.

Long Life Coolant Toyota – is replacement possible?
This antifreeze is not an inexpensive alternative: it was simply replaced in 2002 by LLC with the Super prefix. Until this time, Toyota engines were filled with “ordinary” Long Life Coolant in red color.
Despite the same base and similar additive package, the liquids are incompatible with each other. However, switching from red antifreeze to pink is possible, but only after flushing the system.
The quality of antifreeze is similar: the new generation has become a little more environmentally friendly and retains factory settings longer. Feedback from drivers who made the transition to the new generation of coolers did not reveal any fundamental differences.
Timing for replacing coolant in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150
The coolant replacement period is not clear cut. The timing depends on the operating conditions of the machine, as well as on the properties of the coolant itself. Fluids of class G11 are recommended to be changed every 3 years, and G12 after 5 years. It is also recommended to change the coolant after covering 40 thousand km. If the engine operates under increased loads, the coolant also wears out faster.
Here are a few factors that influence antifreeze replacement:
- vehicle condition;
- mileage;
- coolant composition.
Antifreeze replacement in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 is carried out under the following symptoms:
- cloudiness and loss of color;
- the appearance of foam and scale;
- separation of the liquid and the formation of white flakes in it;
A replacement will require about 9 liters of coolant.
