Is OK to combine antifreeze on Toyota with Honda antifreeze?
Hi all, I have 2 cars , one is Toyota Echo 2004, the other is Honda Element
Is that correct to buy original antifreeze from Toyota dealer and fill also into my Honda or vice-versa?
Thank you, Chris

Don't mix them.
Mixing incompatible antifreezes destroys the extended-life additives.
You have no idea if the two are compatible. Use the correct antifreeze for each.
You can as long as it meets specs. You can buy a gallon of "universal" at any mass merchandiser and it will work just fine to top it off.
Best to flush out with distilled water (at least 3 times until clear) and use one type with distilled water. Don't mix them.
