[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 119102, member: 2163"] If they don't supply long life coolant, you don't want to use long life coolant to refill. Long life coolant is specific to all aluminum systems - if there is any non-aluminum metal in the system, the long life will mess things up. I don;t know if there is any other metal type in the FJR cooling system. As an added benefit, if you don't flush 100% of the green out before putting in the orange, you can wind up with an ugly brown sludge that will block the arteries and capillaries nicely - which is why I'm presently suing my Chrysler dealer in small claims court for the $2500 it cost to fix the engine in my LHS 18 months ago. It isn't hard to flush the coolant - and green is cheaper than orange anyway, so why chance it? [/QUOTE]
