I’ve got a 2017 Tundra 5.7 that just rolled over 100k a while back and took it in for a coolant flush and change then. Fast forward 5k miles I’m doing and oil change today and noticed my coolant is ORANGE not the OEM pink type.
Is this an issue? Do I need to dump it, flush and replace?
Looked at my records and the shop receipt for clues…it just said “global coolant” as the type they put in.

Any help/guidance is appreciated.

I'm pretty certain that the orange stuff is recommended for Toyota/foreign vehicles.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

The orange coolant is probably Dex-Cool, which is Ethylene Glycol.

The original pink coolant is most likely Toyota Super Long Life Coolant which is also Ethylene Glycol.


Eh...wot?
