The green does "work" but it wont help the health of the engine long term as there are chemicals in the Toyota red which help protect the engine, fittings, rad etc. Buy the right stuff from Toyota and it'll last ages, the wrong stuff will screw things up long term.

Pros: protects engine, lasts long
Cons: green coolant harms engine

I did this a few weeks ago on my '13 Sequoia, but I did not flush it. Just drained the rad and the valves on the block. Replaced with Toyota red and distilled water at 50/50. The fluid I drained was as clear as the fluid I replaced, so I felt flushing was not necessary.

Pros: clear fluid after drain
Cons: no flushing needed
Vehicle: Toyota Sequoia

G12/13 has better lubricating properties over long periods of time, which is why they use it in what you always hear as "lifetime fill." This is due to the phosphates in the coolant.

Pros: better lubricating properties

I have been using Prestone Green FORever, in all my cars but the one that is Dexi-cool. I don't think I have ever had an issue with the Green as I flush my cars on a bi-yearly kinda thing or when I have to change things.

Pros: no issues

In a pinch I added Prestone Universal green to my VW coolant, next day the expansion tank had a nasty looking brown mixture in it that freaked me out, my desire to put inexpensive universal fluid to top off my B6 ended up costing me over $150 for VW to drain, flush with cleaner and refill with G12+.

Cons: nasty looking brown mixture
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 200000 km
