If this is true, what's Toyota going to do??? Scotty will know!!! June
Scotty is a tool, I can’t believe how he generalizes everything. Toyota is no 1 and all other cars suck. Yet he had a Volvo in for service and was impressed how well it lasted and how well it’s built. Most videos are click bait

Even better he criticizes a Volvo for using weak transmissions and praises Toyota Aisin being the best and the Volvo in front of him was equipped with a Aisin transmission... I was being facetious mentioning Scotty! I strongly dislike Japanese cars. June

Don't ask me how I know ...
It's looks orange in my mother's 99 Celica GT convertible. June

Whoever serviced her Celica did not use Toyota coolant. Maybe they put in Dex-Cool. Toyota coolant is dark red, redder than red, no mistaking it. Been buying it from the dealership for years.

OK so i googled it, Toyota appears to have a pink coolant now too.

The Volvo coolant is still deep blue but they put rollover indicator in it now. It turns green if you drive too aggressively.

Ahem.

The word on the street is that Nov.3rd is the last day for orange. Should start seeing a bit more blue coolant after then

Maybe I’m missing a joke here, but I totally agree that The Blue looks awesome in the engine compartment. Pentofrost NF is still bright blue and readily available. I’ll be switching both of my 850’s soon.

This is a highly technical place, no room for humor here

Yes I remember Pentofrost being the coolant supplier. Maybe they switched suppliers.
I agree the Blue looks amazing.

I've bought some Volvo coolant about 10 months ago, both gallons are the disappointing green.

I miss the blue!
