How much coolant does a 2006 Corolla hold?
The Corolla comes equipped with Toyota’s pink SLLC (Super Long Life Coolant) that is supposed to last 10 years or 100,000 miles. Rather than wait that long, I decided to replace about half of the 6.9 quarts of coolant in the system after just 6 years and 85,000 miles by performing a simple radiator drain and refill.
What kind of antifreeze does a Toyota Corolla take?

Can you use green coolant on Toyota Red?
If you wanted cheaper than Toyota Red (which I prefer) you could do something like a Zerex Asian long-life. Yeah, colour is not universal and you can seriously damage your engine if you mix two different types of green coolants. What you want is HOAT – hybrid organic acid technology.
