Best tutorial ever. So glad you mentioned taking out the thermostat and showing it too. So many guides don’t mention it or show it and it can really save on a lot of time when doing it
I just drop and refill every 2 years and it guarantees my fluid is fresh. This year I replaced water pump and belts. 2 years ago I replaced hoses, constant pressure clamps and thermostat just because. 2011 Camry. 188K. No issues. Water pump was in great shape this year just did it as preventative maintenance.
Just wondering, have you ever had to change transmission fluid? 2013 Camry at 130k now. I’m getting mixed opinions from different mechanics about whether the transmission fluid change is required. I’m aiming to get at least 200k out of the car.
Excellent video. Every step is done and captured perfectly. I'm going to get this done on my 3.5L Toyota Aurion today. Going to be watching the mechanic very carefully and chipping in to everything :)
@@AliMECHafter 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?
Good video. One critique on the thermostat, the so-called jingle pin should be at 12 o'clock you did not install at the 12 o'clock. Position. This helps remove any trapped air in the system really kill anything but that's the correct way
Air rises in most fluid system. The purge valve has to be at 12 o clock position on this type of cooling system to release air from. The system. Air can cause over heating
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.
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)
As long as you get out as much water as Toyota makes it possible (radiator drain and engine block drain points) that is enough. So while you won’t have exactly 50/50 mix it’s still within range of being safe. Even a 70/30 mix is still safe. So you don’t have to worry about it. Also you don’t really have to do a coolant flush like this ever again. You should just get to a point where you drain the radiator and refill once every 2 years. A complete flush like this is pretty much only done when you neglected the system or are changing the coolant type (for example if you put in the green coolant and want to use the Toyota link coolant). If you really want to be overkill, on your last flush you can use Toyota coolant instead of distilled water. But it’s a waste of coolant so I wouldn’t do it.
Thank you for the videos that you make on the maintenance of your 2017 Camry. I to have the same car and enjoy seeing how to perform the proper maintenance and at the same time save some money in the long run. Great video, continue making more content please. Thank you.
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.
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?
Why would you replace the coolant in a Camry So soon. The have pink long life coolant in them. Good for 7 years or 150,000 miles? I live in Canada and I haven't touched mine since it was new 8 years ago. Will change it this summer at 120,000KM
Do the voltage test, like I did, of it reads close to 0.3 volts, u nees to change it, mine wasn't 0.3, but if u notice when I show the drain pan, there is small black particles in it, changing early gonna make the water pump life longer and keeps engine clean
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.
@@mbz4652 As long as the old coolant wasn't contaminated a flush is not necessary. Just drain the radiator and drain the engine block and refill it. Bring to operating temperature and let it cool down and then top it off. Check it again after your next drive and then top it off again the following morning.
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. So have to either add non predeluted/premixed coolant or just dump radiator and engine again and refill, 20 backs more but safe.
Or maybe instead of using distilled water to flush you can use 50/50 coolant to flush old.. you won't be able to completely tell when all the old fluid is gone but if you flush it twice it should be good and it's all 50/50
To get correct ratio at the end of flushing, I am thinking to use premixed 50/50 Super long life coolant. I will do just one flush. Of course it will cost me more, but I will fill confident regarding right coolant mixture. What do you think, guys?
I can’t see any other way to do it that would be correct. It will be more expensive needing twice the coolant. Especially if you’re using OEM Toyota coolant.
He's removing the thermostat to enable the distilled water to circulate even before the temperature rises. If not you would have to wait for the temperature to rise enough for circulation to happen and again a very long time to cool down again. Hope you get the point
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
That's right, on Toyota manual mentioned, that it needs to be changed after 3 years and I found some black small particles as well when I drain it, so it was good to change it
You can always blow through with compressed air - or even use the air outlet of your shop vac. - to get most of the excess water out. Probably not too much of an issue, I would have thought...
Um, can someone help? I have a Toyota echo, how do you add coolant if it looks like it's too low to tell which kind of coolant to add? I found a leak into the passenger side near the floor, which might be the heater core possibly.
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.
That’s the only bad part of this tutorial. You have to drain the engine block to be able to add 50/50 premix. So while you won’t get 100 of the water out, you get enough out so that it is still in the safe range. If you don’t drain the block, you have to concentrate to compensate.
Excellent vid with clear videos on each step. I just did drain and refill on my 2015 Corolla at 97K miles also have another 2016 corolla which I will plan to do a flush this time. How many gallons do I need to flush 2-3 gallons of 50/50?
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?
Hi. Thanks for the vid. If a person did not use long life coolant on a Toyota corolla (VVT), will this be a problem? The intention is to replace the coolant within 2 years.
To save time on the flush, couldn't you just keep the petcock open while running the engine and adding distilled water to keep it full until it drains clear?
Hi great vid. I followed exactly your instructions. Problem I'm having is the fans never turn on after running the vehicle 2015 camry xse 4 cylinder for 30 mins. Even though it turn on while I was flushing it with distelt water twice without the thermostate in the vehicle. And there was no bubble while I was running the vehicle for 30 mins. Any suggestions??
I have a 2014 Toyota Avalon with 130,000 km and the mechanic told me that my head gasket has a leak and the coolant reservoir was dry. Apparently this is a big job, can I just keep refilling the coolant and drive the car or should I use some kind of gasket seal fix in a bottle stuff?
what about the engine block coolant... it seems like there are 2 groups of people... 1) do not drain engine block, and 2) drain engine block. When you turn car on and circulate distilled water, it has to be emptying the engine.. right?
Good job AliMECH, but I noticed that you consumed too much of deionzed water as well as removing a thermostatic valve which it should not to be so, for full system coolent replacement, you have to drain fully from 3 drain points, 1st from the top reservoir, 2nd from the radiator, 3rd from engine block, then plug the radiator drain and the reservoir, then blow air by your mouth and let all old coolent come out from engine block, then surely you can pour the new coolent without any waste of money on purchasing a lot of distilled water for nothing.Thanks.
It's ok if some of distilled water stays in, the amount of that is gonna couse that much of a difference, of course if you have a compressed air it will be much better, but I didn't use it
Because there’s still water in the system. But as long as you drain the radiator and the engine block, you should be safe to use 50/50 premix. If you do not drain the engine block you still have too much water in there. Toyota made the block drains to compensate for the 50/50 mix.
Louie, make sure that the coolant that you put in yours is the same color as the one coming out!! Otherwise it will give you lots of issues withing a few days/weeks! Look at your car manual and it should tell you specifically wich one to use, same for all other fluids. 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!
While you chose your jack point correctly, I don’t think you put your jack stands in correct spots. It has to be where two notches are, closer to the edge. I heard that you can bend and even might go right through where you put your jack stands. I might be wrong, so correct me.
@@AliMECH oh sweet! So material wise was it 2 bottles of mixed coolant and just a few gallons of distilled? How many times did you run distilled through the system.
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.
Agreed. I'm a machinist, have seen the same thing when people are washing the bare metal steel of the machine, it flash rusts very quickly. Has happened on super humid days as well.
You can also just drain the radiator coolant from the drain valve as i showed and fill it up with new one, without flushing few times like I did with distilled water
@@AliMECH this gives me peace of mind. I know for sure I can do that. The distilled water method, although it's the proper way to do it, look a bit intimidating.
You didn't drain out whole liqud and after whole water. It stay in cilinder block and the heater. I think it aprox half of whole liquid in the coolant system.

Too risky to use 50/50 in Northern Ontario I use 60/40 or minimally 55/45.

Yeah it’s a 1:1 ratio.
Good job AliMECH, but I noticed that you consumed too much of deionzed water as well as removing a thermostatic valve which it should not to be so, for full system coolent replacement, you have to drain fully from 3 drain points, 1st from the top reservoir, 2nd from the radiator, 3rd from engine block, then plug the radiator drain and the reservoir, then blow air by your mouth and let all old coolent come out from engine block, then surely you can pour the new coolent without any waste of money on purchasing a lot of distilled water for nothing.Thanks.
It's ok if some of distilled water stays in, the amount of that is gonna couse that much of a difference, of course if you have a compressed air it will be much better, but I didn't use it
excellent 🤝

Why do some people say not to use 50/50 for a flush and fill?
Because there’s still water in the system. But as long as you drain the radiator and the engine block, you should be safe to use 50/50 premix. If you do not drain the engine block you still have too much water in there. Toyota made the block drains to compensate for the 50/50 mix.
First time I have seen a pink long life coolant. Do you not have Super long life replaceable after 100K miles/ 160 K km?
Louie, make sure that the coolant that you put in yours is the same color as the one coming out!! Otherwise it will give you lots of issues withing a few days/weeks! Look at your car manual and it should tell you specifically wich one to use, same for all other fluids. 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!
Have you try hyper lube coolant

Coolant premixed
While you chose your jack point correctly, I don’t think you put your jack stands in correct spots. It has to be where two notches are, closer to the edge. I heard that you can bend and even might go right through where you put your jack stands. I might be wrong, so correct me.
Actually this was the right spot for jack stand, that's the one strongest spots
Will this work on a 2011?
yes
@@AliMECH oh sweet! So material wise was it 2 bottles of mixed coolant and just a few gallons of distilled? How many times did you run distilled through the system.
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.
Agreed. I'm a machinist, have seen the same thing when people are washing the bare metal steel of the machine, it flash rusts very quickly. Has happened on super humid days as well.
Isn't that dealer coolant expensive? Could've used comparable aftermarket fluid
Yes its expensive comparing to other comparables, but I wanted to use this, you can buy the pre diluted ones for cheaper
Cheers
✌️🙏🙏
I want to attempt this for my car but I am so scared. I love my camry though😭😩
You can also just drain the radiator coolant from the drain valve as i showed and fill it up with new one, without flushing few times like I did with distilled water
Don't be upset I'll do it for you 🥺
@@AliMECH this gives me peace of mind. I know for sure I can do that. The distilled water method, although it's the proper way to do it, look a bit intimidating.
You didn't drain out whole liqud and after whole water. It stay in cilinder block and the heater. I think it aprox half of whole liquid in the coolant system.
Red or Pink coolant
