What coolant type is mapped to a 2012 Toyota Highlander?
Asian Red/Pink · Toyota family. Red/Pink phosphate-enhanced organic acid technology (POAT), 50/50 prediluted. Asian Red/Pink formula for the saved Toyota and 2021-and-newer Hyundai and Kia vehicle families. Asian Red/Pink · Toyota family. Red silicate-free phosphate-enhanced organic acid technology (POAT), 50/50 prediluted. Alternative Asian Red formula limited to the saved Toyota vehicle family. Final compatibility still depends on the exact engine, trim, factory equipment, original part, and owner-manual specification.
What coolant chemistry is mapped to the 2012 Toyota Highlander?

Confirm the manufacturer specification and existing coolant chemistry; color alone is not a compatibility check.
Can I choose coolant by its color?
No. Different chemistries can share a color, and similar-looking fluids may be incompatible. Match the manufacturer specification and product chemistry.
Can I mix this coolant with what is already in the vehicle?
Only when the product and vehicle service information explicitly permit it and the existing chemistry is known. If it is unknown, use the manufacturer’s drain-and-fill procedure rather than guessing.
