when to change PINK toyota super long life

[lucerne06]

I have a 2008 pontiac VIBE with a 1.8 L engine. car has 32,500 miles on it. When would everyone suggest changing and refilling the coolant. it has the toyota pink original factory fill in it still.

Read your manual?

manual says 150,000 miles. I don't think that is correct.it would take me 15 years to get to that mileage

I have the same engine in my 2005 Corolla. I went a little past the 150,000 mile mark and changed it.

With your driving miles vs time I'd suggest 4-5 years.

Take care, bill

Initial change is 100,000 miles, and 80,000 miles after that.

yeah still too early.. I wouldnt worry about it for another couple of years!! I did a drain and fill on my wife's Highlander at just under 100k. BTW I used Zerex Asian 50/50 and no issues to report.. other than me needing to change the water pump, as its starting to weep.

FWIW Bill drives quite a bit.

Somewhere in the 75000 to 100,000 mile or 5~7 years, whatever comes first, IMO.

My '05 xB's manual says TEN YEARS or 150K on the Toyota SLLC "aka" pink-still looks brand new at 6 1/2 years/43K!

My pink has been in my Celica for 9 years now without change. Had no problems with water pump or cooling-might change it next year if i still have the car.

I think the pontiac uses GM Dex-cool which is listed in the manual...also the manual has the recommended change and flush as 150000 miles or every 5 years.
