Where does everyone get there toyota red antifreeze at?

My local dealer wants 22 bucks a gallon for it. Its not expensive considering you only change it every 100k miles. But I have to maintain 6+ toyota in the family and that is gonna hurt.


So does anyone know where to get some cheap toyota red antifreeze?

Hmm so my coolant is trash? I bought Prestone thinking it didn't matter what you got. A bit late now but would this cause any issues?

coolant is coolant.

All it does is:

1) keep different metals from reacting to water causing corrosion.
2) keep water from freezing
3) lubricate the water pump


saying that, there are different schools of thought about the optimum antifreeze formula.

Being a toyota fanboy I like to stick with what toyota engineers come up with.
