I used halfords advanced stuff (or what ever it's called) anyway it's red and is an ethylene glycol based antifreeze (I think that's the important bit) and cost £12 for 5L concentrate (with trade card) I think it was £15 normally. Isnt the red 4 life stuff pre mixed? If so you would need 2 bottles. I think the supra takes 9L of fluid. So it would cost you £35.88 from toyota or about £15 from halfords (1 5L concentrate).

There is a school of thought that goes, its got extra corrosion inhibitors that is especially suitable to the alloy Toyota use:rolleyes:, and it has a "water wetter" additive as well, but i have yet to see any hard evidence of this, millions of cars including Aston Martin and Bentley run quite happily on proprietary stuff, so i am quite happy not to add to Toyota's already full coffers
