Lexus GX Radiator Drain and Fill

Doing a radiator drain and fill only and not the entire engine block because I do flush and fills way before the dealer recommended scheduled maintenance of every 100k miles. I eventually flush out the old coolant this way since the process is easy and 1 gallon of coolant is less than $20.
At 8:40, if you want a less messy drain, don't remove your cock (i meant peacock) all the way.
Here is a pretty cool site where you can put the year of your GX and it will tell you the scheduled maintenance:

Honestly for the comedy value alone- I think non-GX owners should subscribe 😂 love it. Hopefully you saved someone from putting a rhinoceros front end on their ride

Ughhh. I was trying to be serious dude.

[@bryantmontalvo9116]

I love this guy. No where else could I find how much coolant I needed for the DIY radiator replacement I’m doing.

[@GXBOB]

Thanks Bryant, i try my best to dummy it down as much as possible. I learned a few things on the way to make a decent video.

I just picked up a gx. Your channel is awesome. Keep up the good work!

[@GXBOB]

Hey Spacedude, thanks for the comments. Sorry my mouth is on autopilot sometimes and i am too lazy to go back and edit.

[@pinoy413]

Another awesome vid! Thanks again. A couple tips (take it or leave it) you could find a small hose to direct the draining coolant into your container for a lot less mess, that is if you care. And another thing that I bought and love is the spill free funnel. Its perfect to burp cooling systems and comes with a bunch of adapters for all kinds of cars. Its around $20 if I remember but you just leave it attached to your radiator cap with coolant about half way up and let it burp itself.

[@GXBOB]

I"m gonna take it! Great advice Paul, thank you.

Hi Bob, how about a video to remote start your GX using your phone. Some you tubers were doing it but I know your video will be tutorially different. Good job Bob.

[@GXBOB]

I"m afraid to ask how different......I've been asked to do the remote start but i want to hold off until i get another GX as i'm currently selling this one.

[@avaloscakes2008]

I'm trying to bleed the air from the coolant. But cant find no screw information. Your video is the best video by far online. But im still dont know how to bleed a lexus gx. Keep up the good work. P.s Jiggle bolt at 12 oclock.. that sounds relevant to any of this?

[@GXBOB]

You might want to invest in a Radiator Buddy, it'll make your bleed process a lot easier. You're able to view the bubbles "burp" when you squeeze the upper radiator hose and it also gives you the hassle-free process of not having to refill once the coolant level goes does several times during the bleed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJeWYYiuhdqdf80

[@edgarluis4048]

Amazing video. A question: My GX460 2016 version has a small leak in the radiator and I'm going to replace it and in my research I found Cooling Radiator "Compatible" with the 2010-2018 Lexus GX460. Is that ok to buy? Thanks

[@GXBOB]

i'll be honest with ya, i'm not completely understanding your question. Compatible means compatible.

[@gilbertrios5283]

Legend has it that Bob is still filling his radiator! Whaz up wild Bob, at the time of this video I couldn't do the flush cuz of my gay azz manicure or pedicure hell maybe both, but I'm good tu go now 😜

[@GXBOB]

Hey Lexus LX570, where have you been? Haven't heard from you in awhile.

[@TheAuuuMan]

Does the coolant need to be topped off every couple hundred miles or is that indicative of a leak?

[@GXBOB]

Normal coolant evaporates over time. Rule of thumb is 1” per year or 1/4” every quarter. Assuming you’re keeping your reservoir at the max, your radiator cap is in great condition, and you’re replacing your coolant at scheduled maintenance with the correct coolant. That is if you’re losing coolant without any visible puddles where they don’t belong (driveway, underneath radiator, etc…)

[@TheTexasOiler]

Bruh this guy is nuts 😂 but i love it

[@GXBOB]

I've grown up since. My more recent videos are only half nuts.

[@RedDevilTuning]

Can you do a video on how to add factory fogs on a GX460 that didn't come with fogs?

[@GXBOB]

I was planning to do an aftermarket one. The oem one is ridiculously expensive.

[@e.e9331]

8:00 LMFAOO caught off guard haha

[@GXBOB]

I’m curious on what the extra O in LMFAOO stood for.

[@christ0pher14]

Have you ever run into a coolant leak from the valley plate from your other GXs? I heard it’s a common issue with higher mileage Lexus V8s.

[@GXBOB]

Only real issue i've had with my older GX's are radiator leaks. I've had that twice on 2 different 2008's. Its no big deal but just fyi that those 1st generations are prone to it.

[@chopperpl]

According to The Car Care Nut, the reason for those leaks is this long live toyota coolant, which toyota claims should be replaced every 100k. Those long intervals are responsible for lime deposits around seals, which leads to their failures. You should flash the coolant every 30k or 50k with the radiator cleaner capable of dissolving the lime buildup. This should prevent those seals from failing prematurely.

[@nicholasquitevis6648]

GX BOB Done very well. Can you do a Video of draining and refilling the A760F Automatic Transmission. You could explain and show it so well.

[@GXBOB]

I would love to but the last time (recently) i went to my mechanic for a fix, he gave me an offer i couldn't refuse so i said "go for it". He did a transmission flush and fill with Toyota WS complete for $80.

Do you have a video on a radiator replacement?

[@GXBOB]

Not yet

[@mrshebli1984]

Bob i saw other vedios where you need to take of the remaining water from the engine . I think u didn't make a full flush.

[@GXBOB]

In the body of my description, i mentioned my justification for just a radiator drain and fill instead of a entire system flush. Those are only done if you are doing it every 100k miles. I do it every 15k. That makes for a better flush than once every 100k.

[@Kawasaki99841]

Wow $20 for 50/50 premix that’s crazy Not that I would use Prestone 4my GX but would it b harmful?

[@GXBOB]

no it won't be harmful as these red/pink solutions are all compatible for Lexus/Toyota models that call out red/pink fluid.

[@EzMDr]

So You need only one gallon of the coolant?

[@GXBOB]

Hey E M, every GX is going to vary. A lot of folks do multiple flushes to get the entire system ran thru. I didn't do that. I did a quick flush and fill regardless of whatever is left in the engine. The reason why i did this is because i do my flushes often (very inefficient way of spending your money and time, i know). For someone that follows the book and want to flush it completely, the book calls out for roughly 1.75 gallons of red coolant as capacity but i always carry way more than needed because u can always return what you don't use.

[@donkeyrider]

Didnt you have a pink and a purple gx 470 ?

[@GXBOB]

So far you have the closest guess

[@FU29988]

Do you have a video on replacing upper radiator hose? Mine is leaking at connection.

[@GXBOB]

Not sure if a video is necessary for that. It's pretty straightforward.

[@FU29988]

@@GXBOB yes, I was able to do it. Only issue is the plastic inlet where it connects is looks cracked at the very edge and I think there is a very small leak. I am almost sure its the reason I have been having to add coolant. Will have to get a new radiator witch is fine as long as it is not the valley leak that I’ve been hearing about

[@jerrygibbs1831]

Thank Bob another great video any shade tree mechanic can handle. I did notice the Peak anti freeze bottle said "Asian vehicle". That's racist Bob. Bam! Peace.....
