​@@AliMECH​after refilling, if you carefully observed the colour of the coolant at the radiator neck and at the coolant reservoir, you will notice there is difference in colour. The coolant in the reservoir looks more pink colour, while at the radiator neck has somewhat yellowish in colour. So colours are not the same. Can you please explain why there's colour difference? Does it mean the radiator are rusted, etc?

@AliMECH

Thanks, it really depends on how dirty coolant is, flush it till you see clean water coming out

Great video, Thank you! One question: Before you add half concentrated coolant and half distilled water, how much distilled water from the previous flush is remaining in the coolant system? If this is an issue to mixed 50:50 coolant, how to improve?

Most clear concise video I’ve seen of the 10 toyota ones I’ve watched. Question for anyone. When he drains the distilled water there is still prolly a few quarts left inside engine after the flush. So when adding back new 50/50 coolant it will mix with distilled water that did not drain fully, and the mixture will not actually be 50/50. Is this a problem? For my 2nd gen Tacoma I want to use OEM coolant/antifreeze and they only make the 50/50 mixture. So I can’t add fully concentrated coolant and compensate for the extra distilled water remaining in the engine to balance out to 50/50 coolant to distilled water mixture. Any suggestions? For those of you that can purchase the fully concentrated coolant (or don’t mind using another brand not OEM) the best thing to do is look in your owners manual for the full capacity of the whole coolant system, then subtract whatever coolant drains out from the total capacity. The difference is the amount of fully concentrated mix you should add to balance out the remaining distilled water in the system. After that fill it with 50/50 mix.

@fraserthomson5766

Жыл бұрын

I've got the same dilema, flushing is basically diluting our 50/50 mixes. I'm thinking the smartest option is just to drain/refill? Otherwise add a touch of concentrate (which isn't available where I live)

Thanks for the video, I didnt do the step of removing the thermostat, just let the engine run until radiator fans turned on, however I went through 20 litres of distilled water and all the old coolant still wasnt flushed out, left the engine running for 5 mins when new water was added in to open the thermostat. Any explanation? First time giving this a go

Do you know where the thermostat sensor is for the 2017 Camry?

Good Job and thank you for posting. Just a question regarding the ratio of coolant to distilled water. Since you are not draining the engine block of distilled water when flushing the system, you will still have water left in the engine block the last time you drain the radiator. Do you measure what drains out of the radiator the last time you do it and then fill to capacity with the concentrate coolant ? Otherwise the ratio will not be 50/50. Example - My Australian made 2016 Camry takes a total of 7.9Lt, so if you drain the radiator and get only half of that out, you still have approximately half left in the engine block.

Good video! I would suggest replacing the thermostat and o ring while you’re at it. It is only $10 more

How about just using Prestone All-vehicle coolant. It's cheaper and they say it's safe to mix with all makes and models. Different color tho.

How much distilled water should I get before I start? I have AISIN prediluted pink coolant, so I don't need to dilute it. I just need distilled water to flush everything out. 4-5 gallons?

Cheers

The Long Life Coolant in this video is not the same as the Super Long Life coolant that is found in the car when it's new. I would simply use the Super Long Life pre-mixed coolant from Toyota which is good for five years or 50,000 miles. And flushing shouldn't be necessary unless the old coolant was contaminated or you're switching types of coolant. Okay because you're not flushing there may still be some old coolant in the system but it will be minimal. This is likely the reason that Toyota says the refill is only good for 50,000 miles or five years whereas the original factory fill is good for 100,000 miles or five years.

Newer cars are designed more picky than older ones where you could use whatever, now you just can't or if you do, prepare your pocket!

Flushing is great, and using distilled water good, However... After this job... drive it around say 1 hour. To get all coolant mixed in engine / heater core. Then let it cool down. Then, pull cap and check coolant mix in radiator with tester. I bet it is weak (More water than antifreeze, not 50/50) Why? Because there was straight water left in block, hoses, & heater core after flush.

To those who would use 50/50 coolant, make sure you dump left overs of distilled water from engine. On models earlier then 2012 there engine drain plug you could use which emptying engine from coolant. Don't make same mistake as me. I tested coolant with coolant tester and it's no longer 50/50.

Suggest to study a bit the basic chemistry. Try to put iron nails to a distilled water. You will see corrosion in minutes. You are lucky there was some residual coolant liquid. Should you wash thoroughly you can, but make sure you always add a bit of coolant to the distilled water for flushing - it acts mainly as corrosion protection. This way you will protect the metals and still achieve super clean results. Good luck.
