My car's due for a coolant change. I know that I need red coolant and that most people say to get the genuine Toyota coolant but I've seen some on ebay recently which seems like the right one. What do people think and should I get the premixed or the concentrated one?

Premixed

Concentrated

Thanks

Toyota red is premixed, you just pour it in. From Toyota/Lexus themselves its a decent price

So seeing as the one in my post is red coolant should I just go for the premixed? What's the normal ratio for coolant to water anyway?

Ratio depends on the season mate, more concentrate in winter, less in summer.
