The right coolant is essential for keeping the engine cool.

🔹 Recommended Coolants:
✔️ Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant SLLC – Best for Hilux, pre-mixed and long-lasting.
✔️ Zerex Asian Vehicle Coolant – Compatible with Toyota engines.
✔️ Prestone Extended Life Coolant – Works well in extreme climates.

📌 Tip: Never mix coolants of different types/colors, as this can cause clogs and damage the system.
