Lexus GX470 Starter troubleshooting and replacement

[@Mark-Dibble]

You need to get that green coolant flushed out and replaced with the red coolant for Asian cars.

Nah, not really necessary. I've been using green stuff on all my cars for 30 years. Might night last as long, but it's found in every corner of the planet, and it's cheaper.

[@Mark-Dibble]

Yea, pretty necessary. You obviously don’t understand the reason for using the different colored coolants. Match the chemical makeup of the coolant to the metal used in the radiator.

Thank you for sharing the video. I just got a 2009 GX 470 with 262 k miles. I worry about the starter condition. How many miles did yours have when it started to have problems starting? Thank you.

[@markc7889]

Never mind. You said yours is 2004 gx470 with 250 k miles. It is way more difficult to replace the starter for mine because of the SAIS added after yours.
