Lexus GX Radiator Drain and Fill

- Doing a radiator drain and fill only and not the entire engine block because I do flush and fills way before the dealer recommended scheduled maintenance of every 100k miles. I eventually flush out the old coolant this way since the process is easy and 1 gallon of coolant is less than $20.
At 8:40, if you want a less messy drain, don't remove your cock (i meant peacock) all the way.
Here is a pretty cool site where you can put the year of your GX and it will tell you the scheduled maintenance:

Honestly for the comedy value alone- I think non-GX owners should subscribe 😂 love it. Hopefully you saved someone from putting a rhinoceros front end on their ride
Ughhh. I was trying to be serious dude.
I’m a first time gx 460 owner came across your videos very informative made some of the mods 😢looking forward 2 some more 🤙🏾hang loose brah 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
I love this guy. No where else could I find how much coolant I needed for the DIY radiator replacement I’m doing.
Thanks Bryant, i try my best to dummy it down as much as possible. I learned a few things on the way to make a decent video.
I just picked up a gx. Your channel is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thanks James. I am assuming you're not the Lebron James and just a normal James.
Lol, you had me at 15 year lease. Love this channel.
Hey Spacedude, thanks for the comments. Sorry my mouth is on autopilot sometimes and i am too lazy to go back and edit.
Another awesome vid! Thanks again. A couple tips (take it or leave it) you could find a small hose to direct the draining coolant into your container for a lot less mess, that is if you care. And another thing that I bought and love is the spill free funnel. Its perfect to burp cooling systems and comes with a bunch of adapters for all kinds of cars. Its around $20 if I remember but you just leave it attached to your radiator cap with coolant about half way up and let it burp itself.
I"m gonna take it! Great advice Paul, thank you.
sissy boy! ;)
3/8" hose attaches to the petcock drain... You are Awesome!
This guy is a trip. Great video and very funny
Haha I'm 🙋🏻♂️a GX Sissy boy owner ! 😂 You would be a good time to have a drink 🥃 with.
funny thing you said that because i went to BJ's last night and ended up picking up the tab for the latina chick next to me.
Flip your bottles when pouring them. They pour consistently. This goes for everything.
what do you mean by "flip"
@@dtrock77708 pour them with the opening up top.
pretty f**king entertaining I've got an 05 es330 and an 07 ls460 but yours, yours were black and blue thank you thank you very much
Dude Greg you gotta chill on the profanity, this is a family channel.
Exactly when needed! 🤩
8:00 LMFAOO caught off guard haha
I’m curious on what the extra O in LMFAOO stood for.
I'm trying to bleed the air from the coolant. But cant find no screw information. Your video is the best video by far online. But im still dont know how to bleed a lexus gx. Keep up the good work.
P.s Jiggle bolt at 12 oclock.. that sounds relevant to any of this?
You might want to invest in a Radiator Buddy, it'll make your bleed process a lot easier. You're able to view the bubbles "burp" when you squeeze the upper radiator hose and it also gives you the hassle-free process of not having to refill once the coolant level goes does several times during the bleed.

Legend has it that Bob is still filling his radiator! Whaz up wild Bob, at the time of this video I couldn't do the flush cuz of my gay azz manicure or pedicure hell maybe both, but I'm good tu go now 😜
i think me and you are going to get along. hahaha
Does this method remove all the radiator fluid?
Thanks for the videos Bob!
You referring to my radiator flush out my homemade softcore animal pron
This video needs to be sponsored by Arbys.
Lol, right?
Would be easy to go to hardware store and find some silicone hose to fit over the peacock valve drain to eliminate declining the vehicle and prevent a mess.
True, but then you would put my maid, Maria out of a job. She is local union 846 National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA). In California, we believe in higher pay for lazy workers.
Bruh this guy is nuts 😂 but i love it
I've grown up since. My more recent videos are only half nuts.
Nice volume control BOB
This is an old video where I didn’t have money to buy better equipment. Now that I do, I’m at the massage parlor every week.
Hi Bob, how about a video to remote start your GX using your phone. Some you tubers were doing it but I know your video will be tutorially different. Good job Bob.
I"m afraid to ask how different......I've been asked to do the remote start but i want to hold off until i get another GX as i'm currently selling this one.
Awesome video!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Any time Alicia, i'm always here in case you and your husband don't work out.
Bob, I love you!
Please please be a female
did you change your name from GXBOB?
@@user-sf1zz5ew8v No. I changed it for my gmail acct but for some reason it synced with my TH-cam. I’m trying to separate the two.
Hahaha love your humor
Trust me , it gets worse.
Have you ever run into a coolant leak from the valley plate from your other GXs? I heard it’s a common issue with higher mileage Lexus V8s.
Only real issue i've had with my older GX's are radiator leaks. I've had that twice on 2 different 2008's. Its no big deal but just fyi that those 1st generations are prone to it.
According to The Car Care Nut, the reason for those leaks is this long live toyota coolant, which toyota claims should be replaced every 100k. Those long intervals are responsible for lime deposits around seals, which leads to their failures. You should flash the coolant every 30k or 50k with the radiator cleaner capable of dissolving the lime buildup. This should prevent those seals from failing prematurely.
Why yes I am a low life degenerate who is bored with life and just wants to watch TH-cam videos all day long.
That makes two of us
Rainbow Mica and Shimmery Magenta 😂
Bob....the colors are..Gay Gray and Sissyboy Silver. Send me that jug.
Gipstetz, sorry buddy. You need to get the 2008 and 2011 colors.
Gipstets, don't tell me you gave up already.
Amazing video. A question: My GX460 2016 version has a small leak in the radiator and I'm going to replace it and in my research I found Cooling Radiator "Compatible" with the 2010-2018 Lexus GX460. Is that ok to buy? Thanks
i'll be honest with ya, i'm not completely understanding your question. Compatible means compatible.
Can you do a video on how to add factory fogs on a GX460 that didn't come with fogs?
I was planning to do an aftermarket one. The oem one is ridiculously expensive.
Chúc mừng năm mới 🎉🍻🍾🥂
Hey Lexus LX570, where have you been? Haven't heard from you in awhile.
Does the coolant need to be topped off every couple hundred miles or is that indicative of a leak?
Normal coolant evaporates over time. Rule of thumb is 1” per year or 1/4” every quarter. Assuming you’re keeping your reservoir at the max, your radiator cap is in great condition, and you’re replacing your coolant at scheduled maintenance with the correct coolant. That is if you’re losing coolant without any visible puddles where they don’t belong (driveway, underneath radiator, etc…)
GX BOB Done very well. Can you do a Video of draining and refilling the A760F Automatic Transmission. You could explain and show it so well.
I would love to but the last time (recently) i went to my mechanic for a fix, he gave me an offer i couldn't refuse so i said "go for it". He did a transmission flush and fill with Toyota WS complete for $80.
@@GXBOB Hey Bob, can you refer me to your mechanic? I would like to service my transmission soon... thanks!
@@R1cky68 Tony's auto repair. 9231 Valley blvd. Rosemead, CA. $80 transmission drain and fill.
If your mechanic did a trans service fir $80,he lost money.If it's too good to be true,it usually is.Maybe there us more to the story?
@@michellejohn695 Unless Bob seen him actually performing the service correctly I wouldn't trust it.
Thank Bob another great video any shade tree mechanic can handle.
I did notice the Peak anti freeze bottle said "Asian vehicle". That's racist Bob.
Bam! Peace.....
Good thing it didn't say "Oriental Anti Freeze Covid free"
ty bob no sisyboys here
Lol
Do you have a video on replacing upper radiator hose? Mine is leaking at connection.
Not sure if a video is necessary for that. It's pretty straightforward.
@@GXBOB yes, I was able to do it. Only issue is the plastic inlet where it connects is looks cracked at the very edge and I think there is a very small leak. I am almost sure its the reason I have been having to add coolant. Will have to get a new radiator witch is fine as long as it is not the valley leak that I’ve been hearing about
Wow $20 for 50/50 premix that’s crazy Not that I would use Prestone 4my GX but would it b harmful?
no it won't be harmful as these red/pink solutions are all compatible for Lexus/Toyota models that call out red/pink fluid.
Bob i saw other vedios where you need to take of the remaining water from the engine . I think u didn't make a full flush.
In the body of my description, i mentioned my justification for just a radiator drain and fill instead of a entire system flush. Those are only done if you are doing it every 100k miles. I do it every 15k. That makes for a better flush than once every 100k.
Doesn't look like you drained the coolant from the block.
thats because i do many of my lube intervals way before oem recommendation. So my lubes cycles much more than the regular joe.
Do you have a video on a radiator replacement?
Not yet
So You need only one gallon of the coolant?
Hey E M, every GX is going to vary. A lot of folks do multiple flushes to get the entire system ran thru. I didn't do that. I did a quick flush and fill regardless of whatever is left in the engine. The reason why i did this is because i do my flushes often (very inefficient way of spending your money and time, i know). For someone that follows the book and want to flush it completely, the book calls out for roughly 1.75 gallons of red coolant as capacity but i always carry way more than needed because u can always return what you don't use.
Didnt you have a pink and a purple gx 470 ?
So far you have the closest guess
Can you do a video of filling and draining the gas tank 🤣🤣🤣
i can but that ones going to take some time to figure out.
🤣 I actually enjoy my local Arby’s
Its not real meat dude.

White 20¹6
I just picked up a new radiator and the dealership said 2.5 Gallons
last time i went to the dealership because my truck was veering to the left, they recommended i replace my cabin filter.
@@GXBOB bahahahaahahhahahahahahhaa
Black
Not exactly sure what black means but yeah...
Chúc mừng năm mới 🙏🗽👍
Cam on nhieu! Happy New Year.
So it's not GX-Bob. It's 8x-Bob?
Don't get used to it, i'm currently contemplating Sex-Bob as we speak.
@@GXBOB they would be a downgrade of 2x's.
Hey, can we mix zerex and peak? same colors
Hey Phil, mixing red from 2 different companies is not an issue i'd worry about. They both have to still pass OEM requirements to even be labeled "red".
Hilarious.
Funny.
I was trying my best to be serious.
😮😂😂😂 🐓
You are funny
Making videos is the only avenue i have to vent my life’s frustrations. 🍷
