Toyota uses their own brand of Red coolant in all of their cars. Why? basically so that they can sell you coolant for your vehicle and make the money instead of some other coolant company. There really is no difference between red and green. They will both do the job of cooling your engine.

If your car currently has green in it, then just keep using the green stuff. If you have the red stuff, then keep using that. Simple as that.
