I wish that I had found this video YESTERDAY! Even though I provided the thermostat, distilled water, and Toyota coolant I just paid $140 to a radiator specialist to do a 100k mile coolant service on my C-HR because I had never changed the coolant on a capless radiator system before. And I thought that I needed one of those coolant vacuum drain and refill tools. It bothers me that I found this video the day after I spent the money!!! I could have done this myself.
I did two RAV4's, one with the AIRVAC and one without the AIRVAC using the no-spill funnel. There was no difference, in other words the RAV4's cooling system is so simple that it's very easy to burb the air bubbles out. The AIRVAC is handy for the Prius that I did, because the Prius has a lot of passages for the coolant that makes it difficult to burb out the pockets of air. Thanks for watching!
@@davidgpo I was watching this video to see how you used AIRVAC, and then you said you did the same coolant service with the no-spill funnel. I didn't know that I could do it with MY no-spill funnel. I thought I had to buy a vac-system to do it.
@@theylied1776 With the RAV4 the no-spill funnel is the way to go. One would only need the Airvac with cars that are known to have problems burping the air pockets out.
@@davidgpo Thank you! I didn't know. It just goes to show, when you ask the wrong question, you get the wrong answer. I was asking how to use an AIRVAC System, but I should have been asking... can I still use my No Spill Funnel?

@@theylied1776 I have another video where I go into detail on how to use the AIRVAC. I think it was the one on the 2007 Honda Prius.
How many gallons of antifreeze do you put in when it’s completely drained?
About 1-1/2 gallons.
