I try to use(at work) whatever the OEM calls for, whenever I can. I told him he needs to drain everything now, tried to tell him to use OEM Fluid, I don't think he did. Tried to get the whatever was in the tank out but I think it was too late at that point. My friend dumped tap water into his over flow tank on his 2013 nissan, I politely asked him what he was doing, then proceeded to yell at him lol. honestly some people just don't know any better. Maybe it should be stamped on the radiator. I would like to read more on that, if you find it. Is that going to be OK or are these technically two separate coolants that shouldn't be mixed? I haven't driven it at all, just ran the engine to burp it. One question I have is that I had about 3/4 of a gallon of SLLC left from last year's rad change, so I added it, and then filled up the rest with about a gallon of 50/50 LLC that I mixed. I realized that the non-diluted LLC isn't just a concentrated version of the SLLC, but I'm glad to hear that I was OK to use SLLC in my 3rd gen. I just had to do some work on it this weekend and had to replace the fluid again (don't ask), and went with the LLC since it was only $28 at the local dealership ($30 on Amazon) and I needed it sooner than later. I have a 3rd gen, and when I replaced my rad last year, I used the SLLC. Yeah, I just figured this out over the weekend. anyway I was trying to convey, that if you hunt for it, you can get pink or red, for really about the same price as the aftermarket. not sure why they decided not to make a premixed red. Oh sorry I didn't read into which one, but yes definitely not the same. Additionally the use of Distilled Water is not as recommended these days because apparently the "pure" water actually can cause some weird metallurgic interactions (I need to find a source for this as I had one in another thread someone posted.) Also, diluting LLC does not make it SLLC, I've had some people get that information from even parts departments and it's completely wrong LLC is usually undiluted, while SLLC is pre-mixed. Toyota SLLC is backwards compatible, meaning your 2002 3rd gen can use it in place of the Toyota LLC, but your 4th gen cannot use Toyota LLC, it needs SLLC or equivalent. Toyota SLLC (Super Long Life Coolant) aka "Toyota Pink" is a NO Silicate formula among some other things and is spec'd for your 2004 4th gen 4Runner and newer. You have to be careful, Toyota LLC (Long Life Coolant) aka "Toyota Red" is what your 2002 3rd Gen 4Runner takes, it is a LOW Silicate formula among some other differences.

Just look around buy it when you meet a free shipping quota and your parts order. if you plan it ahead, its it comes out ~18 per gal (2 after dilution)Ġ0272-1LLAC-01 - Genuine Toyota ANTIFREEZE GALLON W I get its hard to find, but I parked my car for 2-3 days when i realized i was short in my coolant swap. I'd appreciate any ideas.I dont get why people don't use red. I'm also out of work right now due to heart issues so major work in the heat is not a good plan. This thing has been unbelievably reliable and still has way more power than my Trooper ever had.

Short of replacing the driver (don't go there) and car, I'm at a loss where to look next. It is still losing 12 ounces or so of coolant every couple of days. The coolant I drained from the radiator was beautiful red with no oil in it.
There is no coolant under the heater core. I don't drive the thing much (94 Trooper driver), but I can still smell the coolant from 20 feet away. It doesn't overheat, the heat and AC both work well, and it still smells like coolant. Got that replaced and the beast runs really well. Figured out that the radiator was leaking on the side below the cap and had been for a while (big old crusty hole) so bought a new radiator and changed it out only to have another leak from the lower hose. The sucker has over 300K miles and the driver is notoriously hard on it. Have a 2004 2wd 4.0 and have been dealing with coolant loss.
