Thanks a lot. Found it at amazon. Dealer in my country doesn't sell OEM coolants.

It was red in my 1NZ-FE (Long Life Coolant). However, the manual states "Toyota Super Long Life Coolant". I think either will work, the difference seems to be the pink is pre-mixed and the red needs distilled water added.

As far as i can remember it was the red stuff. I did some research and toyota says u can mix the red with the pink with no side effects.

When I got my 09 back in late 08 it came with pink coolant. After I got my engine rebuilt at the dealership, I got it back and they had filled it with the red coolant.

At least for xA cars, the Technical Service manual specifically says Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (50%/50% premixed) PINK for the xA for fill and top-offs.

08' xB maintenance guide says same.
