Antifreeze for the Lexus RX

The RX is the most common Lexus in Georgia and sits on a Toyota platform. The factory fluid is pink, so your product is Valvoline Zerex Asian Red. The bottle names Lexus directly.

Cooling system volume (litres) roughly seven to nine litres, plus the inverter circuit on the hybrid

An aluminium V6 with two cylinder heads

The RX's 1MZ, 2GR and 3MZ engines are all-aluminium with two cylinder heads. That means twice the gaskets and twice the coolant passages of an inline four.

The aluminium protection figures from the data sheet: aluminium weight loss of 0 mg in ASTM D1384 where the limit allows 30, and 0.1 mg/cm²/week in the hot-surface test against a limit of 1.0.

The RX 400h and RX 450h

The hybrid RX has two independent circuits, engine and inverter. Toyota specifies pink SLLC for both.

Leave the inverter circuit to a dealer or a hybrid specialist, because bleeding it follows its own procedure and sometimes requires forcing the pump to run.

Given the volume, take two bottles for a complete flush.

Frequently asked questions

My RX 300 has the old red fluid. Is that the same family?
Yes, Toyota's red and pink long-life fluids are one line, and Valvoline Zerex Asian Red is made for that family. A complete flush is still better if the fluid is more than five years old.
