![]() This little leak which only needed a $2 gasket ends up costing me ~$400. ![]() As my goal is to always bring back to factory spec. Since this coolant system has red, I'll need to take into shop blow out or have it machine flushed to switch to the proper SLL (pink) to complete restoration of the 07. I usually DIY flushes but I can't evacuate that last gallon. So it just wasn't correct application, and would amount sabotages of coolant system. Although this rig has red coolant in and I could continue it's use, the system calls for SLL (Pink). So back to the Dealer for the application correct stuff, retail at ~$90 my cost ~$67. I looked back at my order and saw I order correctly, they just filled it wrong, happens no big deal. He checked with the shop and they said " basically, they use old stuff as long as it flows", but said do not use 102FIPG on coolant systems with SLL (pink). I gave a call to my wholesale parts guy to asked how long the stuff lasted. I'd used it last (opened at the time) to attach the foam piece to the front of a replacement radiator, worked great. He was wrong.Īs I started to install the water bypass (leak) & water inlet, I happen to find an old opened tube of 102 FIPG in my tool box. I was told "we've one for engine (black) and one for transmission (orange). When I pick up my parts order at will-call I notice they'd give me the regular black ~$12.00. Service center at Dealers' are major profit centers, one Honda Dealer shop I know of here in Denver see 20,000 cars a month.

It was a Toyota shop foreman stated to my parts guy, the common 102 or 103 FIPG (is for oil) is use okay to use with LL (red). It just the 102 FIPG often gets used in systems with red coolant. To be clear all the 100 series FSM I've read do recommend the 128B FIPG. ![]() We still must stick with the more restrictive LL schedule of the lessor of 30K miles or 2 years.Īlso SLL (pink) can only be used with a special FIPG part no: 08826-00100 seal packing 1282B, Which is used during water inlet install. Since we can't get 100% old out during a flush, it's a waste. Here the rub, whereas LL (Long Life red) may indeed be compatible with SLL (Super Long Life pink) Do not put SLL in a 100 series that came with red from the factory, without full flush or you waste your money.
