5pcs Car Radiator Coolant Filling Funnel: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DcR...
In todays video i will show you easy way of How to do complete coolant flush, this Coolant flush is the same process for TOYOTA Camry 2015-2017 and most of cars,
TOYOTA Camry 2015-2017(Radiator water) radiator coolant must be changed every 30,000miles or every two years,
If the voltage between the coolant and the ground more than 0.3 volte, coolant should be changed
IF the coolant(Radiator water) not been changed, it will get acidic and damage the water pump and radiator

​@@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?

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

[@luke_8_17]

I noticed He put it back at the same exact position as He took it out. So that means, who ever did it last, didn’t place it a the 12 o’clock position.

[@lilbill4114]

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

[@sirsweetness8332]

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.

[@FredFlintstone21]

very good video. How much distilled water was left in engine that you didn't get out? maybe 5-10%? good to compensate more coolant when final add?

[@mikeandrews5787]

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]

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

[@samuncle6635]

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?

[@TojiZenin3956]

I have a 2018 rav4 can i use this method for drain and refill. Thanks

[@charles1738]

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.

[@ozipradolife3660]

Nice explanation mate . But this is not correct coolant for new Toyotas . Use the Super long life coolant(Pink) not long life (Red). Thanks

[@jon4915]

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?

[@njsongwriter]

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.

[@justinmr6761]

Thanks I was wondering if I bought the wrong one after this video

[@wayditay9288]

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.

[@muhammedk9648]

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.

[@AliMECH]

You welcome, yes you can, but you have to replace it sooner, I rather spend more and forget it for a long time

[@danyg-jekob8058]

Great, thanks ! Question - the part where you remove the thermostat....what are the basics without removing it ?

[@prjawahar5879]

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

[@AliMECH]

PR Jawahar is right, I did a video were I didn't remover the thermostat valve Here I show how it can be done kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaPCfIaIhdtjapo

Does the 2002 Camry 3.0 have a bleeder valve?

[@davidcampbell1899]

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

[@AliMECH]

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]

What's the solution for the 50/50 ratio or the proper way for replacing the coolant?

[@njsongwriter]

@@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.

[@princealabdali]

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.

[@AliMECH]

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

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?

[@AliMECH]

Yes, you must empty as much as possible, I usually use compressed air to blow it out, even if some states, no problem, it will be mixed with coolant

[@AliMECH]

Yes, it was clean, but I found some black particles in it, in the drain pan, the car is 2017, so it was a good time to change it

[@pavelch3297]

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.

[@pcysneros]

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

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.
