Filled the coolant reservoir with Toyota Pink (part dept gave me the wrong type). Wasn't too much, just from the fill to the full line. Calling a Dealer in the morning to get some input and calling my local dealer that sold the coolant on Tuesday since they are off till then. Looks like the only major issue would be a slight degradation of the Blue's current life. Any input would be appreciated!

Couple of cups won't be an issue in the overall scheme of things. Be a much bigger concern if you had done a full flush and used it.

Uhm, I just put whatever Autozone has in mine. Mine does fine. I didn't really think coolant mattered. lol.

Funny thing. I had to call a few dealers in Washington (Live in Michigan and it was late) to get some input and one of the service writers actually said to call an Autozone! They also said they had the Pink in their system as being okay. I just got worried when the back of the jug said "except FR-S engines". But I think in the long run the small amount that was added should be negligible 'crosses fingers'.

Exactly my thought. I just felt like a idiot for not checking it when the parts guys gave it to me since I asked him twice if it was the Blue 50/50 and didn't look at the jug after he gave it to me!

There are right and wrong ones for different engines but in reality the effects of using the "wrong" one minimal anyway.

Now if it said except FR-S engines I would be concerned. haha, I think I used Peak brand. I have no idea. Been like that for the past year though and I haven't ran into any problems.

Safe for and best for are not the same. There are some on here that would freak out if there was an ounce of the "wrong" type. Not going to hurt a thing really but may need to be changed more often.

Awesome air freshener. Love meeting fellow fans. I'm thinking of getting the Hoth scene with the AT-AT's sunshade.

Either can I!

I was looking into it I also read you can use an infinity mirror for cheaper. I got this one for $10 so no complaints
