Rechochem Asian coolant colors

[mclasser]

Rechochem Honda blue can be mixed with Rechochem Toyota pink/red, correct? The dyes are different to match factory fills but the formula is the same phosphated HOAT.

I recall people saying that this is true, but others in the know might chime in here.

Yes, same LL/EL PHOAT. As long as you don't mind mixing tints, no worries. Same now goes for Zerex Asian Formula, in blue and red/pink. What's nice about PB OEM brand, it's a concentrate. But you already know that.

You can also get Pentosin Red coolant in concentrate. It is the same thing. I would not be suprised if it came from the same factory... https://www.amazon.com/Pentosin-8115203-Pentofrost-Antifreeze-Concentrate/dp/B000I7WWGK

I'm not convinced that Pentosin A1 concentrate is the same as the newer long/extended life Asian PHOATS that come as a premix in oem form and as ZAF after market. And also available now as PB OEM brand concentrate.

Toyota LL Red oem comes as a concentrate too, but is the older shorter interval phoat AF. It's recommended service interval according the OM is ~2years or 30k miles, whichever comes first. If one looks at A1 profile on pentosin.net, and limited to through 2004 Toyota vehicle, would seem to indicate it a clone or direct replacement for older Toyota Red LL.

That's said, according to Toyota SLL pink is compatible with older red LL and can be safely mixed.
