I'm a noob when it comes to cars. I notice the pink fluid (canister is labeled coolant) on the passenger side of the car is getting low. Can I get more coolant for my 2005 Scion tC at any local auto shop (Sears, Kragen, Autozone, Toyota dealer)? Is there a specific type/brand I should buy? Thanks.

 

that's the overflow tank. i'm not sure what other's use, but i've always used the toyota red coolant from the dealership

 

Scions come with Toyota Super Long Life coolant which has an extended service life of about 100K and comes pre-diluted in a yellow-capped jug, pick some up at your local dealer.

 

I just did a coolant drain & fill cause I'm at 95k on my 07 tC. Do as everyone says above and go to the dealership and grab a gallon of the fluid for our cars. Even after close to 100k my fluid didn't even look bad....trust me go with the factory radiator fluid!

 

thanks!

 

Agree with above. Don't mix and match. Get the Toyota coolant.
