So I took the plunge............

Yep I put Toyota Pink in my '03 Windstar.
But not before I drained the system. (Radiator, Block Drain, and hoses including the rear heater hoses)
I did this for a few reasons. Manily, I've been unemployed for 8 months and don't have 20 bucks for G-05. My dad works at a Toyota Dealer, and has TONS of Toyota Pink. Also I've done some research and have found that pink is an HOAT coolant, like G-05.
Though they are different.

Anyone think my van is going to explode ?

Lets here your thoughts.

I would guess it is as good as you can get. I could use a few gallons myself.

2 days and only one post ?

I don't think you'll have any problems at all.
If I had access to free or cheap Toyota coolant I'd run it in all my vehicles. It's known to be an excellent coolant.

Well you already switched it over, now you're going to see how well it works for you. Not much to discuss

I'm using Toyota pink in my vehicles. Works beyond excellent.

The only issue is the "flush" of the old fluid. Depending on how competent you are with fluid exchanges, I would consider an 'early' change out by 50k the 1st time to remove any residual non-pink antifreeze/additives.

I wish it were available as a concentrate. The cost of 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2 gallon of antifreeze premixed at dealer is exorbitant.

I get it free, so I was thinking of changing it out next year between 7-10k miles to finish flushing it out.
