Thank you Viktor - I’m probably more conscious than the average Tundra owner about upcoming maintenance needs, but on the other hand, I’m not compulsive about leaving in the 12oz. pre-existing coolant that would normally come out of the driver side block drain (vs the usual desired 1 gal (you want out) that drains from passenger side) *Not stressed about not getting the remaining 12 oz in the heater core … I consider my personally possible risk compromising multiple other (formerly completely tight) hose connections or safely removing sensitive radiator brass plugs due to a lazer-focus on every last coolant “ounce” that is ‘possible’ to remove ending up introducing a self-induced air pocket. Your video offers a lower-risk, down to earth, yet realistic high % coolant refresh and this for me makes your video, work experience & realism a perfect guide for me. Thank you sir! I will watch for your prev. or future Tundra maintenance videos or any other vehicle make procedure you offer a guide for 😊
@ that’s what I’m wondering about. I am going to do this because if I understand this right the coolant becomes acidic over time and can eat through the head gasket. But what I don’t know is if some residual coolant will contaminate the fresh coolant or will the residual coolant become safely diluted?
@@tbamagic depends on what modifications you do. The white truck in the video is my friend's, but I had 2 supercharged Tundras myself, here is my fast one ua-cam.com/video/tla58JxDXXw/v-deo.html
Just replaced the radiator on my "03 V8 4Runner. I refill the rad slowly as you mentioned, make sure the overflow reservoir is at least half full, if not over full, and then install radiator cap, take it for a 5-10 mile drive, so thermostat opens, and then check and top off the overflow reservoir as required for the next 2 or 3 drives. After two drives this time, reservoir needed topping off. I only use Toyota recommended coolant.
@@RonRussell-sj1zf the 4.7L V8 takes a lot longer to bleed the air out of than the 5.7L for some reason. I think you did everything correctly, no issues.
Hey viktor. I have a 2007 Toyota tundra and my problem is that the temperature rises when I go fast and requires more power o get to a long hill. I have replace thermostat and radiator cap also the fan clutch. But still does it. What would you recommend? Thanks again.
@@mlgimind maybe the radiator fins are clogged, or the head gasket is blown and allowing the combustion gas to enter the cooling system. Would need to be diagnosed in-person, hard to say without seeing it and inspecting/running some tests.
Hey I overfilled my coolant to the very top on accident on my 2015 Toyota tundra. A fuel transfer pump isn’t doing the trick. I should be able to just drain it a bit so it lowers to “full” again right? And be good to go?
@@phil1723 you can do it if you want to get the last little bit of coolant out. The video follows the repair manual and they don’t tell you to drain it.

Appreciate the detailed video and tips 👍. I didn’t even realize there were drains on the side of the engine! Thanks again 👍

Perfectly explained and executed. Keep the tundra videos coming

@@Orbi.Lee23 thank you for the feedback!
So are you saying there’s no need to pull the heater hoses and driver side block drain?
@ you can if you want to get every last drop of coolant out, but I wouldn’t bother
@ that’s what I’m wondering about. I am going to do this because if I understand this right the coolant becomes acidic over time and can eat through the head gasket. But what I don’t know is if some residual coolant will contaminate the fresh coolant or will the residual coolant become safely diluted?
@ it will be totally fine, on most vehicles it is physically impossible to get all of the coolant out anyways.
Supercharged!!!! Nice!
@@tbamagic yep 😀
Did it make a significant difference?

Thanks my great friend for all best videos and haw about Toyota Camry XLE V6 2009 information 👏👏🙏
Will do if I ever get a chance, but I do not own one of those, so don't know when I would have the opportunity to work on one.

Is there a flush process in between the drain and fill?
@@Mightiflier the repair manual does not mention any flushing during coolant replacement, just a drain and fill.
@@Viktor_G_Automotive Thanks for the quick response!
@ no problem!
Got the TRD supercharger on it I see
Yep :)
Wouldn’t this be a good time to replace the thermostat?
@@cdelapaz5 they rarely ever fail, but you can definitely replace it at the same time if you want.

@@sebastiancuevas7441 you could partially drain the overflow tank by disconnecting the hose that goes to the radiator cap.
Viktor, knowing your Tundra is also supercharged, do you have a similar procedure for flushing the cooling system of the supercharger?
Hi, I do not have a video for the supercharger system coolant replacement at this time, but will make one if I get a chance in the future.
Thank you for the video. Do you recommend draining the heater core as well?
@@pv4083 you can if you really want to, but there is a minimal amount of coolant inside of it.
@@Viktor_G_Automotive thank you. By the way the transmission fluid change on a 2021 Toyota sienna was really helpful. Thanks
@@pv4083 glad to hear!
Great Job Viktor. 👍 I Have That Funnel For Filling And I Also Like To Vacuum Fill The Cooling System.
Right on!

5/16" is the I.D. or O.D.
Thanks

5/16 inner or outer diameter for the drain hose?
