FJ Cruiser Coolant Change 

7:54 - Not everyone in Canada calls hoses, hosers! Kidding, very informative ! Ben

I don’t see you have answered any of the comments in regards of draining the engine block coolant. Would be helpful if you do. Also curious if you flushed the system with distilled water. Thx

was wondering if you can change coolant with-ought having to drain coolant in the 10mm sides of engine block and just the radiator drain cock only?

Great video! I ended up here because the service manual incorrectly identifies the location of the two engine block drain plugs. Your video identifies those nicely. They are 10mm and the one on the drivers side is tricky to loosen and tighten and really didn't drain much of anything as I had drained from the passenger side and the radiator plug first. I think if I were to do this project again I would only loosen the passenger side block drain plug and the radiator drain plug. Thanks for the video.

did you put any distilled water to flush block and all other components? You dont say wether you flushed out remaining coolant once you did the initial drain. it seems you only drained and refilled with coolant?

Thanks man. I appreciate your help!!

Good video.... was wondering if there was a reason you did not flush with distilled water?

Why didn’t you say what year this FJ was.? I watched three videos and the 2011-12 engine drains are farther back on the engine block. Also for all the questions about only draining from the radiator, You would only be draining 1/2 of the old fluid. You can actually get more from the block than the radiator. So you would be contaminating the new , ( experience), fluid‼️

The temp gauge on the dash on FJ's are usually digital now a days. It works better to drive it. Also burping the coolant system is always a good idea.

10mm on the block drains. Pretty easy job. Video was helpful finding the driver side drain.

very helpfull Video doing mine soon 30k on my 07 8 year old antifreeze im sure its time.

Very nice, thank you very much!

Did you drain from the engine blocks?

It looks like you used Toyota Long Life Coolant (older Toyota coolant) instead of the Toyota Super Long Life Coolant.

Your the man thanks, very helpful info!

How did you get the drivers side drain cock open? From the top engine side or thru the wheel well I can't get to it!

good helpful video for coolant change.

is this a model made before 2008 right?
