    Zerex Asian Red vs. Toyota Long Life Red Coolant and mixing?

    Actually red is cheaper when you factor in the idea that red is full strength vs pink that is 50/50. One gallon of red yields two gallons.

    Zerex Asian Red vs. Toyota Long Life Red Coolant and mixing?

    The Toyota Red (long life) coolant is NOT superseded by Toyota Pink (super long life).

    The new Maxlife ATF packaging/label is here

    The only thing to note here is that some people mentioned that the currently available VML formulation is very different from that in the past. So potentially going forward you may have a different experience?

    Walmart Store Brand EverStart batteries - Do they typically last 5 years or do they need frequent replacement?

    Break-in oil change debate

    I always do a "break in" oil change on a new car. There is no telling how long the car sat on a lot, etc. So I always have done it and I always will do it. Oh and I can care less if I'm "flushing" money down a toilet.
