Lexus GSF RCF ISF Coolant Flush - Valley Plate Leak Fix

[@arnelagustin8837]

My apologies for your loss, been through that before with a Cat of all things, keep the memories and they will always be there. My Car next? Lol!

[@channingsmith5236]

Some people don't understand that the loss of our furry family members can hurt as much as the loss of our human family as well. I also saw a more recent vid of you selling the GSF. Too bad to see it go as well but I respect your decision. Thanks for all the content 💪.

[@BulletsGarage]

Appreciate the kind words man

I just found your Channel and been watching recently. I'm so sorry for your loss of Frenchie! 🙏♥️🐾 Sincerely!

[@BulletsGarage]

Hi. Thank you

[@gabeh7373]

That's cool if that fix works going to a different coolant it definitely doesn't hurt to try! I had to do my Valley plate leak at 70,000 miles on my ISF

[@BulletsGarage]

Exactly if it does fix the issue it’s a simple easy mod the coolant cost me $70 for 3 gallons the water cost $20 so you’re under 100 bucks for an issue that could potentially resolve and if not at least you have fresh coolant

[@gabeh7373]

Exactly a cheap fix if it works😎

[@BulletsGarage]

Yes sir

[@TeXasDadBod]

Losing a family member furry or human always hurts sorry you had to let him go but glad he’s not in pain . We lost our mini poodle who we adopted at 3 months old and after only 8 years she was gone, one of the best dogs we ever had . She had congestive heart failure I dove her to the vet carried her inside and she passed away as I handed her over to the ER doctor . It’s never something we expect but all I can say is we here if you ever need to talk about stuff man even if we are just your KZbin F fam .

[@BulletsGarage]

That's so sad I'm sorry man. 8 years is so short. We were lucky we got 14 years with him

Interesting that so many Lexus’ have this issue. It’s a problem in the LX570 and Landcruiser. Lots of discussion in the forums

Not sure

Condolences on your loss🙏🙏🙏

[@BulletsGarage]

Thank you.

[@albertclark3801]

Thanks again BG! The LS 460 historically is prone to the valley leak also. There is info on the cause being the manufacturers choice of original sealant of the gasket also being responsible for the valley plate leak. Also , that changing the coolant every 50,000 miles can help avoid the deterioration of the seals and gaskets. Have you heard that anywhere?

do you have a solid info that the pink coolant cause the valley plate leak?

That’s what several people on the forum have said

[@geoh8241]

Is it a certain thing it will all leak?

With time yea

[@icebear8637]

What forum? Link please. I’d like to read up on this. I’m curious why the pink coolant causes this.

Should have saved the fresh pink coolant for me. My Honda can run on anything without any gasket issues.

Thank you

[@MPowerSubie12]

The vet told me my Yorkie developed a kidney problem as well at age 13. I couldn’t bear the news. Ultimately I know why it happened too. (We went on vacation left her with pretty bad friends and she never ate for 3 weeks other then some shitty Chinese treats, after that things went all downhill, I never wanted to leave but it was my sister’s wedding so I couldn’t slip out of it even though I tried so hard) But I gave her IV fluids everyday to keep her going until a year later she passed away naturally. So I had her for another year after I found out I couldn’t put her down. She did okay during the time obviously it was getting worse but she still was able to live. It took a lot of time but it’s possible if you want to do it.

[@BulletsGarage]

Unfortunately frenchy has a heart condition also and crystals in his bladder so it would only get worse

My condolences for your loss. This year has been tough. Any chance you have the link to the forum? I was looking under RCF pages. I just realized it would be under GSF. I was always curious if this was going to repeat itself after ISF. Thanks in advance & Thank you for the F content.

For the toyota red can i use 1gallon and the rest distilled water? Or is 2 toyota red gallons recommended? TIA.

[@odin5188]

Hmm, very interesting video, I've got 2 "Toyotas" one MR2 Turbo which I use red coolant then I've recently got a GS460 1ur-fse which they say you should use pink. Why does pink coolant cause this issue and red doesn't?

[@mkthreetillinfinity]

Bullets Garage It truly is surprising. I would say it’s driven harder than a lot of IS-F’s out there. The car just clicked 200,000 this week, still 0 issues.
