I agree with another poster here who said the coolant does not look Red, rather it looks Pink which is the CORRECT color for Toyota OEM long life coolant (I purchased some through Toyota dealer so I know this for a fact). You should only refill with the OEM pink coolant. It only needs to be changed, it does not need to be "flushed" if you use the OEM coolant, it's free of harmful additives so there should be close to zero corrosion. If you or someone else put a different type of non OEM coolant at some point (green, etc) then you will have to flush to get that stuff out.
I wouldn't use the flush chemicals. I don't think the cooling system needs flushing if coolant is replaced at specified intervals. The cleaning agents can actually do more damage by corroding or dissolving the seals. Thanks for the video though. Your engine looks clean.
Agree just look on the antifreeze/coolant bottle for the time life of it and renew it a year less than it recommends.I do this every 3 yrs regardless so it has a good and decent flush interval which is good.
Good video but if there are no issues all you need to do is remove the old coolant then fill up with Toyota 50/50 Premixed Super Long Life Coolant. To remove the old coolant, undo the yellow plastic screw on the bottom of the radiator, remove radiator cap and open overflow reservoir cap. Sure won't get every last drop but will be close enough.
As coolant ages it becomes more and more corrosive. If you don't change the Toyota pink coolant every 7 years or 70k miles, whichever comes first, the coolant will become excessively corrosive and it'll start to eat away at the inside of the radiator and engine.

The cylinder block drain cock is a little tricky to find, it isn't on the front, but in the back of the engine block; you will need appropriate tools to get it open, nice vid.
Looks like a plastic wing nut on the left side if you underneath but i undo the lower hose as it's easier and quicker then refit it,let it run afew mins till warm then add warm water undo hose again,Undo the hose from the expansion tank too.
Omar Ostorga Btw at 4.11 he shows you where it is so go underneath the car and remove the plastic under guard but it's best just to remove the lower hose from the engine block end as it's quicker to flush.
Please add a disclaimer to your video that Toyota does not recommend any chemical flush or water to be introduced into the cooling system. All that is required is a drain and fill of straight long life coolant.
Always change 1 yr less than what the bottle recommends (Remember what the anti-freeze/coolant bottle says) Some are 2,3,4,5 yrs Life time.Drain the expansion tank/bottle and lower hose and add water,start engine let it run for a few mins till thermostat opens/engine warms up then again undo hoses replace with warm water.Doing this a few times is best so you'll get all of it out.
@@nomadicheadspace5334 - Sure that will remove about half of the total system capasity, thats pretty good. The new coolant will be good enough to protect everything.

@@jessewynne8193 Please don't turn the engine on when it has no oil in it. The amount of old oil you are trying to remove is very small. The key is changing the oil and oil filter regularly.
That coolant doesn't look red but pink. Pink is the correct color for some coolant. It looks like you put the green stuff in it. I don't know how imperative it is to put the right stuff back.
It's important to add water then run the engine for abit with hot fan on full with normal fan on full wack then drain before adding coolant + distilled water.
Hey so I tried this my car didn't want to start up I deleted the system properly and now it's killing me the coolant temperature sensor code if I disconnect it but fans work turn on with the ignition switch on and the car will take a little to start it's reving around 1500 rpm I replaced the sensor with an oem one it still won't start if I leave it connected thermostat is also new
Distilled water is cleaner than deionized water.. distilling water removes ions and other impurities and is better than deionized water.. either is fine for coolant
You are acting like in video as like some horror movie scene ... Its really tiring watching your video and its not too much detail rather too much talking only.
