Many of you are already familiar with the Youtuber Car Care Nut. He's been a wealth of information regarding Toyotas in general and I've learned a lot by watching his stuff.
He has a coolant change video for the 2GR-FE engines, which seems straightforward enough. His presentation calls for a bleeder to route coolant from the engine back to the coolant fill port. OK, that's great.
But he freely admits in his video that the 2GR-FKS engines require a different coolant change/flush process altogether, largely because Toyota did away with that head bleeder valve. He also says the 2GR-FKS engines are more complex and difficult to do coolant changes on.
My wife and I have 2017 and 2018 Siennas, respectively, and both vehicles have the 2GR-FKS engines. I'm not able to find anything through a search on coolant changes specific to this engine in this forum, or on Youtube. Lots of videos out there on coolant changes, but not associated with this particular engine.
I'm curious if anyone out there has experience with these coolant changes on this particular engine and if so, what that experience has been like.
Thanks in advance!
