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:

    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
      @GXBOB  2 года назад

      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.

    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
      @GXBOB  3 года назад

      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
      @chopperpl Год назад +1

      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.

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

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  2 года назад +1

      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…)

      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.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  2 года назад +2

      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.
