These are coolants sold by the vehicle maker or its parts brand. Each product page shows exactly what the source publishes, with "not published" where it is silent.

Toyota spec codes listed by coolant makers
No product in our directory lists a Toyota spec code. Toyota identifies its coolant by name or part number, so aftermarket makers usually name the vehicle make in their application text instead (below).
Coolants whose maker names Toyota (guidance only)
These products do not list a Toyota spec code, but their manufacturer's application text names Toyota (for example "recommended for Toyota, Honda, Nissan…"). That is a weaker claim than a spec code. Treat it as guidance, check the exact wording, and follow your manual.

Not sure which coolant your car takes?
Find your coolant →Colour and chemistry
Among the 7 products on this page, the listed colours are Red (2), Pink/Red (2), Pink (1), Blue (1), and the listed chemistries are P-OAT (2), HOAT (2), OAT (1). Colour is a dye chosen by each maker, so two coolants of the same colour can be chemically different, and the same chemistry can come in different colours. Match the spec or the named factory coolant, not the colour. See coolant colours explained and OAT vs HOAT vs IAT.
Topping up and mixing
If the reservoir is low, top up only with the coolant your manual specifies, and use the same premix or concentrate ratio. Mixing chemistries can reduce corrosion protection and shorten coolant life. Some makers (Mopar, Mercedes-Benz) explicitly say not to mix specs. If an unknown coolant has been added, a flush and refill is safer than topping up. Use the mixing checker and our coolant flush guide. Never open a hot radiator or reservoir cap.
Varies by model and year
Toyota has changed coolant specs over the years, and a spec can differ by engine and market (for example North America vs Europe). Electric and hybrid models may use separate loops with their own fluids. This page does not tell you which code applies to your vehicle. Your owner's manual, the reservoir cap label or a dealer does.
When to see a mechanic
See a dealer or qualified mechanic if the coolant looks rusty, oily or sludgy, if the engine overheats or the coolant warning light comes on, or if you cannot identify the correct spec. See coolant warning light and coolant leaks.
