Your 2021 Toyota has PINK coolant which is OAT.
I've been driving Toyotas since 1974 , have always used the factory recommended coolant and have never had a bad head gasket.
My 2016 4R has pink coolant and I trust Toyota info saying that this is the best coolant for this engine. Use green if you want, it is your vehicle.
