2012 Prado Altitude 1KD 3 lt diesel Engine Coolant

Just an inquiry concerning the type of coolant that is original to my 2012 Prado Altitude. I only have 85,000 km travelled, but decided to change my engine coolant because of the time period. I went in to my local dealer where I bought the vehicle new and asked to purchase their genuine coolant. Just a bit of talking to the Spare Parts guy immediately indicated that he was not real knowledgeable in his role. I just happened to mention that I was sticking to the original green Toyota coolant so there could not be any contamination. He said the coolant should be pink and then went over to another sales person who also said it should be pink. My reply was that I bought it here and it has only been serviced here during warranty and never been to any other service agent and since then I have done all the servicing myself and I have never changed the coolant.

Can someone tell me if their similar make and model Prado has pink or green coolant. Brian DJ

It is SLLC - Toyota's acronym for "Super Long Life Coolant" - and it can be purchased from your Toyota dealership spare parts department - about $35 for a 5 litre bottle of premix. It is not available as a coolant concentrate, unlike the very old Toyota Red Long Life coolant.
