    Yes, the Toyota coolant is pink. My mistake. I guess I see it as orange through the yellowed plastic of the tank on the inverter. The new fluid going is indeed pink. Thank you for the correction.

    They sell Orange coolant used in Fords btw. . My Crown Vic uses it. Hopefully somebody didn't use that instead of SLLC.
