how much coolant

[window_lee]

I am planning to change the coolant myself.
I am wondering how much coolant do I need for our car???

straight out of your user's manual...


Total capacity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
Manual transmission 4.8 (5.1, 4.2)
Automatic transmission 4.7 (5.0, 4.1)
Coolant type:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is
used in your Toyota vehicle at factory
fill. In order to avoid technical problems,
only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non−silicate, non−amine, non−
nitrite, and non−borate coolant with
long−life hybrid organic acid technology.
(Coolant with long−life hybrid organic
acid technology is a combination of low
phosphates and organic acids.)
Do not use plain water alone.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for
further details

yup i believe its distilled water...and percentage may depends on your area due to weather conditions..could be antifreeze/water ..70/30-60/40 or 50/50

mechanic to me to put pure coolant on my old celica..then i found out after why its suppose to be mixed..getting your normal engine temperature faster is better on gas mileage aND pure coolant will slow that process down...but i could be wrong.
