Default Coolant leak
So i poped the hood today and found out the left hose of coolant cap was disconnected and dangling, so it splashed a good amount of coolant around that area, i reconnected now but do i need to use toyota oem coolant or any coolant from store is fine?

thanks




Thats about how much is left

OEM coolant SLLC is what you need. You'll need to bleed the coolant also to ensure any trapped air is out of the system.
