Ive performed maintenance on my car, but havent ever changed the coolant. How do I know which type to get. As long as its extended life 50/50, does it really matter what brand?
if you're not sure then buy the Toyota stuff
You are probably only going to change it every few years. You will pay a little more for the genuine Toyota coolant, but you know it is the right stuff and give you peace of mind.
Use whatever your owner's manual says to use. If these meet the specifications of the manufacturer, they are OK. If not, they are not.
How much coolant should I buy

Im looking to change the coolant in my 2015 Camry with 121k miles. Ive never done it before, but it looks like a simple process. Are either of these coolants okay for me to use for the job? (links down below)

Aisin is in OEM manufacturer. I would probably go with that. Also get yourself a burping funnel it will make for an easier job when it comes to bleeding the cooling system.
My 2015 Toyota Camry has 121k miles on it with zero issues whatsoever. I bought it in September with 106k. Im not sure when the cooling system was last flushed, or when the transmission fluid was changed. How much coolant should I buy to play the safe card?
