Toyota Sienna 2GR-FE Coolant Flush. Today we are changing the coolant on a 2015 Sienna with the V6 2GR-FE 3.5L engine. These are notorious for being difficult to bleed all the air out. I will show you how to bleed all the air out of your cooling system no matter if you are replacing your radiator, water pump, hoses, any other coolant component or just a simple coolant drain and fill.
This will also apply to vehicles with the 2GR-FXE engines as well.

Extremely helpful video showing exactly where that blead screw is at, as well as showing the bubbles in the reservoir to know what we're looking at when the time comes and the time stamp on the video to show what the expectation is for how long this will take. Can't thank you enough man.

A trick I figured out that makes it go by even faster; when the coolant drops in the vinyl hose, take it and submerge the end in the coolant. It will begin to suck coolant from the funnel back into the port. It will then top itself off, air free in no time.

@Lexus_ES350 4 месяца назад

They changed my recovery resevoir because i had a bad cap under warranty. Even playing with that they did not bleed it right. One day i found it bone dry so it must have blew out the air and sucked it in. I fiiled it to full cold. Been holding eversince. I read the comments on the heater system and now i know. Knowing is half the battle.

When I replaced my 2007 Sienna radiator (same engine) at home, I was aware of the air pocket issue , because few months earlier when the dealership changed the water pump and forgot to bleed it, I gave them another visit. So when the radiator replacement day came I decided to do it myself. I jacked up the front of the van way up to prevent the hoses from spelling the coolant ( coolant was relatively new). My neighbor thought I'm dropping down the engine the way the front of the van was jacked up, I told him that's my way to prevent the rear heater core from loosing coolant. So, if you have a rear passenger heat in your van or SUV, most probably you'll have an air pocket after coolant replacement unless you follow the bleeder step shown in this video.

@TheBrettareid83 Месяц назад

Thank you for the video! Worked great for me. I had to run the engine at 2,500 RPM for about 20 minutes before the steady flow started through tube. Not sure if I botched the end of the job; After closing the bleed valve I let the engine run at idle for about 10 minutes with no bubbles in the funnel, I turned off the engine before pulling out the funnel and she sucked another mouth full of coolant with a few bubbles in the funnel.. so I turned the engine back on.. No more bubbles, but wasn't sure if I just re-introduced air into the system with that last gulp it took when I shut off the engine?

Sounds like you should be fine, I doubt any air got trapped in the system. Just keep an eye on the coolant reservoir level for a few days.

How often are you supposed to do a coolant flush. In the past when my AC stopped working they went under the dashboard and replaced out the blower motor. But it went out again and I've never ever had this process done and the truck is 12 years old. So in short my question is how often is this supposed to be done??

@CarsYouCanFix Год назад

Coolant flush intervals depend on the manufacturer, but I would recommend replacing the coolant every 4-5 years.

@samzchang 6 месяцев назад

Great video, Thank you. I have a 2014. How much coolant does it use for this Sienna , and do You consider using distilled water to flush it first? Thankyou

@CarsYouCanFix 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I believe I used about 1.5-2 gallons of coolant. Personally I don't use distilled water to flush it first, as long as the cooling system is in good health and not neglected. I have used some flush products before only because the customer specifically requested it. I would say though if it was an older car and saw some gunk or rust coming out I would then flush with water.

@adamg2844 Год назад

Hi, I have an Australian built Toyota Aurion with the 2gr-fe V6. Do you need to turn the heater on at any point during the procedure to remove the air pockets from the heater core. Thanks

No you do not. Due to the design coolant is constantly flowing through the heater core. As long as you follow the procedure you will be good.

Thanks for the comment! The 2GR-FE engine doesn't have a traditional heater valve, so coolant is circulating through the heater core when heater is off.

Hi thanks for the video, is there still some coolant liquid didn't get out because of the coolant thermostat valve? or you changed all of it?

@CarsYouCanFix Год назад

There will still be a little bit of coolant left in the engine during a drain and fill. You will get more coolant out doing a thermostat or water pump job but you really can't get all the coolant out. Just stay on top of your coolant changes every 4-5 years.

@noahshannon6282 Год назад

So, when you drain the system (and refill and bleed the system), do you want the heaters all the way on hot with the fans off so you can get the old coolant to drain out and the new coolant to fill back in? Very helpful video, by the way. Thanks! :)

@CarsYouCanFix Год назад

Thanks for your question! You wouldn't need to do that because system doesn't have a conventional type water/heater valve, coolant is constantly flowing through the heater core and air and flaps direct the airflow for heat or cold.

The 2016 Highlander changed over to the 2GR-FKS engine. The bleeding procedure is different since they went away with the bleeder valve on this engine.

@kevinnn116 11 месяцев назад

I did this on my rx350, rpms at 2,500 for over 45 minutes and I dont think i ever saw the constant coolant flow from the bleeder hose...it burped several times through the hose and the funnel, but never had a constant flow. I figured it was fine since bubbling stopped and i had it on over an hour. Rear heat and front heat felt super hot still, even on idle so i think all the air was out, but I'm not sure.

@CarsYouCanFix 11 месяцев назад

At this point I would drive it and get the engine up to temperature, let it cool down overnight, then top off the coolant reservoir if needed.

@stanislav9608 11 дней назад

Great tutoring video. I subscribed. I am going to change coolant in RX350, 2015. Everything in the video is straight forward, but still have a few questions. Have the heater on max hot, it helps you determine if the system is bled of air. If it blows really hot when the engine is idling, you are done bleeding. If it blows hot air when revved up, but cools off when idling, there is still air in the system. You did not mention about waiting until thermostat opens and radiator fan turns on, should the upper and lower radiator hoses be squeezed before starting the engine to speed up the ridding of air process. Does it matter when the coolant reservoir should be filled up: before the filling of radiator or after? Also, 2GR-FE engines have two 10 mm engine block drain plugs. Have you ever tried to drain them and how much extra coolant will come out. I would like to get out as much coolant as possible.

@CarsYouCanFix 10 дней назад

Thanks for subscribing! Reason the heater isn't set to max is this setup is constantly flowing coolant through the heater core, and uses baffles to control the heat to the cabin. If you do the procedure exactly you can rest assured the air will be bled out, when the coolant is coming back up the tube that is when the thermostat is opening. You can squeeze the hoses if you want, not necessary though. I top off the coolant reservoir at the end. I haven't drained the block on this vehicle, I think it would drain another gallon or so of coolant.

@gbengoosewuru4139 6 месяцев назад

Hello. @ 04:18. How did the fluid level in the funnel get that high? Did some fluid already flcoke from the tube or did you add more?

@CarsYouCanFix 6 месяцев назад

The fluid level will rise due to the coolant getting hot, thermal expansion. That's why I only fill to a certain level at first.

@kingtungstenworldwide4472 6 месяцев назад

Great video. I have a question for anyone that can answer it: If not properly bled and air pockets form, can this cause the system to overheat (in addition to the heater not pumping out hot air)? I tried this system numerous times and cannot get to the level when it finally rises with solid liquid in the clear tube, the large funnel boils violently and even overflows coolant.

@bendirusso3149 3 месяца назад

I have a 2014 Avalon 6 cylinder. with 49,000 miles. I followed your video, but no coolant came up from the bleeder valve. I left the valve open and proceeded anyway. As the engine got hot bubbles were present in the funnel. I continued until no more bubbles occurred. I drove the car and got it up to temperature. The heat coming from the vents was great (hotter than before). The temperature gauge was were it typically is. Any thoughts on what happened? What would I notice if i still had air in the system after the procedure? Than for any light you can shed on what happened.

@CarsYouCanFix 3 месяца назад

That's a bit odd since coolant should flow out and match the level of the coolant level in your funnel. Possibly the bleeder valve was clogged, but sounds like you got all the air out anyways!

@CarsYouCanFix 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! The reservoir on this engine just holds extra coolant for expansion/contraction of the coolant heating up and cooling down. Having the coolant come out of the bleeder valve, then back into the radiator, is sort of like a closed loop system to get all the trapped air out. I hope that makes sense.

@Tonyplat98 2 месяца назад

It's great except this method leaves about 1.3 gallons of coolant that did not get flushed out the system. The bleeding method is good though. So basically you replaced 50% of the coolant that was inside the system.

From my experience with the Rav4, you can just fill the coolant tank with the bleeder valve open. once fluid is level in the tank and fluid comes up the plastic tube attached to the bleeder valve you are good to go. This is due to the higher location of the reservoir tank for air to bubble out easier.

@jalmerc24 it doesn't matter hot or cold, just make sure it's off

Why have heaters off?

@CarsYouCanFix 2 месяца назад

Due to the system design there is coolant constantly running through the heater core, making no reason to turn on the heater.

How many of those coolant containers did it take? 😀

@CarsYouCanFix 10 месяцев назад

I believe it took just under 2 containers, close to 1.5

How does yours take 10 mins , I feel like for me it takes forever

@CarsYouCanFix Год назад

Make sure you have your rpm at a steady 2000- 2500 for the entire procedure.

I never got the flow, I closed the bleeder after 60 minutes and let the bubbles subside, then closed off the radiator. No overheating, so must be okay.

I have a impala. Nt sienna.

@CarsYouCanFix 11 месяцев назад

Ok, Your Impala most likely would need the heat set to max, don't quote me though. Toyota on this model does it a little different, this procedure is pretty specific to this engine since it can be really tricky to get the air out on this one.

@JanielRamirez-rv3kh 11 месяцев назад

@CarsYouCanFix okay I just would like to use the same procedure on my 2000 mercury sable this time. So I know it's good idea. No other way. I have spill funnel clear tunes in place.

@JanielRamirez-rv3kh 11 месяцев назад

@CarsYouCanFix so would it matter put regular hear on max without ac. I ways made good practice and r u mechanic

@CarsYouCanFix 11 месяцев назад

If the car does have a heater valve I would set heat to max.

@JanielRamirez-rv3kh 11 месяцев назад

@CarsYouCanFix I'm do that a Justin case because I just don't if has one or no thanks same for 2002 impala 3800 v6. As fir the 2000 mercury sable

Sorry but no - how do you make that comment about THIS procedure? It is not substantially different than bleeding coolant in a 1972, 82, 82 engine. Is it possible you just like to complain?

@desertfox4921 10 месяцев назад

@john21031 Год назад

I don't think this is a right method. I would close the bleeder as soon as the coolant starts coming out of it. Then wait for thermostat to open. Closing it while bubbles are still coming defeats the purpose of bleeding....

@CarsYouCanFix Год назад

This is the correct procedure for the 2GR-FE engines, a little funky, but it's correct.
