2005 Toyota Land Cruiser coolant — what it does and how to look after it

Coolant is absolutely used on the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser. Toyota’s technical literature for the 100 Series (covering the 2UZ‑FE V8 petrol and 1HD‑FTE diesel) specifies a pressurised, liquid-cooled system and the use of Toyota Genuine Long Life Coolant (red) or Super Long Life Coolant (pink). See the 2005 Land Cruiser Owner’s Manual cooling system section, Toyota Repair Manual cooling system chapters, and Toyota Genuine Coolant product specifications for details on type and service intervals.

On a 2005 Land Cruiser, coolant does three big jobs: it hauls heat away from the engine, protects alloy, steel and solder from corrosion, and raises the boil point while lowering the freeze point. It also lubricates the water pump and keeps the heater core happy on cold mornings. That’s why running the right coolant matters, especially for long touring or towing across Aussie and Kiwi conditions.

Most 2005 models were factory-filled with Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant (pink), a premixed 50/50 ethylene‑glycol coolant with long-life inhibitors. Many vehicles in service may also be on Toyota Long Life Coolant (red), which is a concentrate that must be mixed with demineralised water. Don’t mix red and pink
