Does it matter what kind of antifreeze I put in it - red or blue? I have read that some engines need red and some need blue. Is that true? Thank you

As long as using ethylene glycol based and silicate and phosphate free is good to go. Toyota red usually is cheapest.

But you have answered my question. Thank you.
