![]() I have done a lot of research on the different coolants before I came here. I am quite capable in mechanics as I have been working on vehicles for 21 years and aircraft for 19 years as well as being an engineer so I am not a newbie trying to save two dollars and risking an expensive car. Yes I think that the mfg charges too much for their coolant however, if you read through my post, the main reason is that I prefer 70-30 mix and you cannot get Toyota SLLC or Zerex Asian in concentrate to achieve this. I don't think using the Peak Global Lifetime in the inverter would be any different than using it in the engine. This is good for me as I prefer the 70-30 mix rather than the 50-50.įinally, is there anything special about the inverter coolant? I know it uses the same Toyota SLLC but the interval is 150,000 miles rather than 100,000 miles. A gallon of pre-mix is less than half the price (pep-boys has it on sale for $5.50 - normally $9.99) and you can get it in concentrate which the Toyota SLLC does not. I would like to use the Peak Global Lifetime if it will be ok with the car. ![]() My question is does anyone know for sure if they are compatible with the Toyota SLLC and with the vehicle (seals, gaskets, hoses, aluminum, etc.) My Prius currently has 90,000 miles so in about 6 months or less I will hit 100,000 and will do a flush and fill on the engine coolant. I realize that they probably don't think you will have your car forever, but I hear that it is good for 150,000 miles which is the same interval for the Prius inverter. The manufacturer guarantees it for as long as you own your vehicle if you do a flush and fill. I did some research and found many people say that the Peak Global Lifetime coolant is a great equivalent and can be used to top off the Toyota SLLC and as a flush and fill. ![]() Seems pretty steep for coolant and that's only a 50-50 pre-mix. I was looking for the Toyota SLLC and the cheapest I have found it was $23.99. My Prius is a 2011 and has the pink coolant in it. The Hayes Manual says to use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or equivalent. I need to top off both my engine coolant and my inverter coolant.
