Thanks..
The green stuff uses silicates to help prevent corrosion. These silicates also tend to drop out of solution to form solids, which can clog the system or damage components such as water pump seals. Toyota Red contains no silicates, while still inhibiting corrosion as good as (or better than) the green stuff.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
