2015 Toyota Sienna 3.5 V6 2GR-FE - Cooling System Service - Drain & Fill & Bleed

In today's video we will be doing a drain and fill of the cooling system on this late model Toyota mini-van. There are special procedures to follow in order to bleed/purge all of the air out of the system once the draining and filling is completed. I will show you the step-by-step procedures on how to perform this maintenance item. This video is a drain and fill of the system only. It is not a full coolant flush of the system. If your vehicle has been regularly maintained at periodic intervals then there is no need to do a full flush of the system.
Toyota's recommended service interval is 5 Years/160000 Kilometers (100000 Miles) whichever comes first for the first service and 5 Years/80000 Kilometers (50000 Miles) thereafter. Again, it is for whichever comes first distance or time.

I like to use the tubing on the petcock to make less of a mess. Also, do you drain coolant from the engine block? There should be at least one if not two coolant drains on the engine block

[@moosemobileautorepair]

@samdalia01 Yes, you can do that as well if you want. For me I just wash it down with water in the end. No, I don't touch the drain valves on the block as I don't want to take a risk breaking it if it's seized on there so I leave them well alone. If a vehicle is periodically maintained, then a coolant flush is not necessary. A drain and fill is more than enough.

[@samdalia01]

Thank you sir. Appreciate the video ans response! Keep up the great work

[@e.r.videography6209]

Do you need to open bleeder valve? Is it necessary?

[@moosemobileautorepair]

Yes. Otherwise the engine will overheat and the coolant will overflow and boil over.
