Other car manufacturers like Toyota quickly jumped on board and were using their version not long after. It was a new formula that was better for aluminum engines and did not break down as quickly as standard ethylene glycol, or the green coolant most old timers know about. One of those coolants that was first adopted was General Motor’s Dexcool. This cut down on the costs of maintaining the cooling system and made the car over all more affordable to drive. When the automotive industry started changing cars to have longer maintenance intervals, one thing they did was have better coolant/antifreeze that lasted longer. Zerex antifreeze/coolant was one of those fluids. When I was working for a Toyota dealer (who shall remain nameless at this time) we had an amazing Valvoline rep who could sell us on anything that they came out with. Here are 3 fluids I researched that can save you some money and keep you driving just as long. I want to give you, free of charge, some of my knowledge I have spent a lot of hours on learning what are acceptable and quality substitutes for your Toyota Prius. This not only led me down a path of saving loads of money, but I was able to explore why stuff costs so much.

It was a great time in my life looking back, because it drove me to learn how to fix more advanced problems on cars. This desire to do things myself really hit me hard when I came up against a problem I could not do and had to pay someone for. I also did small things such as air filters, washing and vacuuming, which helped me save a lot of money, and learn a valuable skill set. I have been doing this since I bought my first car.
I am a huge proponent of working on my own cars.
