gotcha, I should stop overthinking it

I’m wondering if the finished products have different viscosity’s .. post mixed. Also i must admit im unsure if it’s a stupid question lol

I’ll probably opt for zerex Asian, if I’m understanding correctly .. can ratios of the ethylene glycol be different in the pink vs red?

Hey guys Having my water pump replaced this Thursday by a mechanic My issue is that the OEM water pump I picked up from Toyota.. does not call for a gasket. It calls for a FIPG. I’m nervous that there will be user error, and would prefer to use a ready made gasket. Car is 2003 Camry 4...
