yes agree ako na 'wag ipaghahalo. Concern ko yung red color kung bakit di okay. Hindi naman siguro ibebenta yan ng Caltex if defective. hehe

Yung OEM color ng Toyota coolant AFAIK kulay red din.

Color has nothing to do with coolant performance or compatibility. It's just a dye mixed with the coolant chemical to easily identify leaks in the system.

Ideally, use only a coolant type that is appropriate for your vehicle or as indicated by the owners' manual.

i might be wrong.

It's just one way to differentiate coolants. But even if the coolants were of the same color, it does not mean they're compatible.
