Then bought a bunch of VW coolant (cheaper.) At amazon. And 6 gallons of Walmart distilled water. Still have a couple of gallons of water left.

Gonna flush the Highlander when I do the timing belt, drive belts, and the water pump. Wish Aisan made kits for german cars, Amazon sells an entire kit for $160 using OEM parts.
