I always change my Toyota coolant 4ys with Prestone & never had an issue....had it 13yrs with same thermostat.

No, just don't believe what the coolant bottle say, i used Prestone on my Toyota every 4yrs for 13yrs with no issue with the same water pump & thermostat.

Wow! What a dilemma Amd. 😯 Let us know what the customer decides to do with it. INFO - I had a 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4sp auto here in the UK for nearly 13yrs (66,000m when i got it & 99,000m when i sold it....has 104,000m as of today) & i changed the coolant every 4yrs with Prestone,changed it 3 times in my time. 1st flush was with deionised water to get any old coolant out properly. My old Yaris has never had the head off/head gasket issue,water pump or even a new thermostat....it was 6yrs old when i purchased it (2008) ,it hasn't even had a thermostat in those early 6 yrs either! Sold the car on 3 yrs ago to someone who i still talk to & still no thermostat/head gasket replaced. Regular oil changes every year with Castrol Magnatec & it's still purring like a kitten today. Problem was when i sold it the road tax was £185 a year it was £175 a year prior typical UK greedy government wants us out of old cars. It was £175 a year prior.....as of today it's £255 :hand-orange-covering-eyes: My new 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT is only £30 a year (prior year was £25). Fuel consumption of old Yaris was BEST 48mpg & new Yaris 58mpg. I did make a good move getting a newer Yaris. Just DON'T believe what it says on the coolant.

Agree...5k. Just change the coolant 5yrs/50,000m max! I had a 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4sp auto here in the UK for nearly 13yrs (66,000m when i got it & 99,000m when i sold it....has 104,000m as of today) & i changed the coolant every 4yrs with Prestone,changed it 3 times in my time. 1st flush was with deionised water to get any old coolant out properly.

Sold the car on 3 yrs ago to someone who i still talk to & still no water pump,thermostat/head gasket replaced. Regular oil changes every year 4,000m with Castrol Magnatec & it's still purring like a kitten today,emissions is still brilliant as it's real strict here . Problem was when i sold it the road tax was £185 a year it was £175 a year prior, just typical UK greedy government wants us out of old cars. As of today it's £255 . My new 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT is only £30 a year (prior year was £25). Fuel consumption of old Yaris was BEST 48mpg & new Yaris 58mpg. I did make a good move getting a newer Yaris.
