    Please read my quote or even better post no13 that guy say dont waist time levelling car but change coolant it is more beneficial! i really dont understand how the hell he get to this result. For me it is a complete waste to change coolant every 30000 mile anyway

    Was expecting an explanation but it will not come for sure is it so ridiculous coolant only fonction it to protect again corrosion, freeze and cool
    20 years coolant will NOT loose it's cooling capability unless it is contaminated and will cool the same from day one. we only change it because it lost is PH buffer and corrosion protection. Please anyone dont change your coolant at 30k your wasting the environment.Should have just ignore this comment but if i could prevent people from jumping in this wasting im more than happy

    G2 & G3 use Toyota SLLC coolant for both the engine coolant loop and the Inverter coolant loop.

    Toyota super long life coolant, it's 50/50 pre-mixed in the States. See page 353 of second gen Owner's Manual, page 416 in third gen Owner's Manual.
