How To Replace Your Toyota Hybrid Inverter Coolant

[@andypeterson2126]

Why do you have to change that fluid and if so, how often do you have to change that fluid?

[@TheYotaChannel]

The coolant can become more acidic over time and lose its rust-inhibiting properties, causing corrosion. Corrosion can damage the radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, hoses, and other parts of the cooling system. It is recommended at 100k miles

Why is the drained fluid look so clean, how many miles is on it?

You a great job with you videos. Your camera work is great. Thanks for the video.

[@TheYotaChannel]

Thank you!

At 4:30, you just started the car, correct? No need to put it in maintenance mode?

[@TheYotaChannel]

The inverter cooling system has a separate water pump that operates even with the engine off. If it was the engine, you would need to.

@@TheYotaChannelwait so do I put my foot on the break and start the car like normal? When doing the inverter pump coolant

What’s the fluid reservoir above where u just filled

[@TheYotaChannel]

That is the brake fluid reservoir above.

what is the size of the crush washer? thanks!

[@taiskiryan8563]

I just did this process for my car, and wasn’t fast enough to top off the coolant. The pump made a sucking sound for about 5 seconds before I filled it. Is this harmful to the pump? The car seems to be running fine after a test drive. Thanks

[@TheYotaChannel]

The minute you start the car, the inverter water pump does suck the coolant up quickly. It made that sound because the pump was operating with no coolant going through it. If it was only for a short period of time, i wouldn't worry about it.

[@chuckwalla2967]

Yeah, unfortunately you did some damage. Next time, get one of them big funnels that locks onto the reservoir so you can have excess fluid sitting in the funnel when you start the engine.

[@chipopo4]

1.How many litters for inveter and how many litters for the engine? 2. For bleeding inverter, should the car be in maintenance mode?

[@gabrielo8922]

Brake cleaner?!?! Oh no, that stuff damages plastic and rubber parts. It should never be used in the engine bay. Read the directions. They always say to protect rubber and plastic components when spraying. You should use a mild soapy water. Better yet, use a funnel and don’t make a mess in the first place.

Where can we get the right coolant

[@takarachi6858]

Toyota dealer

[@real9269]

Amazon

[@talc6933]

Hey DO NOT use brake cleaner on anything but metal. It will permanently damage plastic and cause cracks over time. Also, some brake cleaners include products that will eat your paint like brake fluid. Always read instructions. Def remove that part of the vid before someone gets that on their car.
