The factory-recommended coolant or antifreeze for the 2013 Toyota RAV4 is noted as Phosphate Organic Acid Technology, specifically the Red/Pink Extended Long Life for Asian vehicles in a 50/50 mixture. This coolant serves the purpose of preventing rust buildup within the cooling system and also lowering the freezing point, rather than actively cooling the engine. The price of coolant or antifreeze typically ranges from $10 to $20 per gallon depending on the brand. It is advisable to flush the coolant system every three to five years or every 30,000 miles to remove rust and debris, allowing for efficient engine cooling.
The 2013 Toyota RAV4 is designed to use Toyota's long-lasting antifreeze, known as Toyota Super Long Life coolant, which is made with ethylene glycol.
