Walmart carries a brand that has in big display it is a substitute for manufacturer coolant.. pink, premixed abt $9 a gallon. View attachment 134084 View attachment 134085 Specifically says on the back it is designed for hybrids, and a bunch of stuff relating to composition it is and is not.
a neighbor is going to replace the pump for me, said the other part is ok... parts store says it's only $41.
Dealer wanted $425 for job. Their parts wanted $120
Found a video on YouTube changing one on a 2006 or 7 .. looks the same.
All of my dealers are at least 40 min drive, so this will have to do.

How did this work out for you long term? Many swear by sticking w/OEM fluids and I"m not convinced that is required for every fluid. Transmission might be the only one. The Pink 50/50 long life Asian vehicle coolants, for example, are support to work same as Toyota's pink.

Question on predicted vs. concentrate: Is it worth just sticking w/pre-diluted or easy to get concentrate and self-dilute?
