My mechanic just switched my antifreeze to “Prestone yellow”. He said it’s for cars with high mileage (150k and higher) he said it’s softer on our old hoses and such! Car is running great.

Pros: car is running great
Mileage: 150000 km

I run the Peak Final Charge Global red coolant. Less corrosive than the green stuff, and I haven’t had any issues running it.

Pros: less corrosive, no issues

Prestone does work, but Toyota uses RTV to seal the coolant passages between timing cover/thermostat housing and engine block. Prestone uses 2-EHA which has been shown to be aggressive on silicone, however it’s not uncommon to see leaks with the OE coolant that uses sebacic acid which is also a plasticizer. That said, I have a Sienna and LS430 that’s filled with Prestone, no coolant leaks… yet.

Pros: no coolant leaks
Cons: aggressive on silicone, potential leaks
Vehicle: Toyota Sienna
