2015 Toyota Sienna 3.5 V6 2GR-FE - Cooling System Service - Drain & Fill & Bleed

In today's video we will be doing a drain and fill of the cooling system on this late model Toyota mini-van. There are special procedures to follow in order to bleed/purge all of the air out of the system once the draining and filling is completed. I will show you the step-by-step procedures on how to perform this maintenance item. This video is a drain and fill of the system only. It is not a full coolant flush of the system. If your vehicle has been regularly maintained at periodic intervals then there is no need to do a full flush of the system.

Toyota's recommended service interval is 5 Years/160000 Kilometers (100000 Miles) whichever comes first for the first service and 5 Years/80000 Kilometers (50000 Miles) thereafter. Again, it is for whichever comes first distance or time.
