I don't think anyone responded b/c you should be able to find the answer in your owners manual.

Toyota coolant is not mixable with any other coolant, especially dexcool, it will gum up the coolant system. If you choose to use it you must completly drain the entire system. The toyota coolant has a lubricant for the water pump brg. and seals.
