I am facing a predicament, I have unknowingly used Castrol Radicool SF antifreeze/summer coolant instead of Toyota super long life coolant. My coolant reservoir has run empty, can I just add Toyota coolant?

Good Afternoon.

Yes you can for now. When you get a chance, drain out all the coolant and add your Toyota long life.

With it being mixed right now, the coolant does not have the same long life.

No worries, you are good.
