Coolant Service - Toyota Yaris Forums

N9QGS · 12-30-2008, 11:53 PM

I am at over 80K miles on my car original coolant, bought a tester, and took a sample from the radiator cap, its clear as can be and tested -45 freeze point. So am I good for a bit longer? or is there something that is not known about the coolant that maybe I should still consider changing it now? They (valvoline) said I could bring in Toyota Coolant and they can flush it with Toyota coolant they said to bring 6 to 7 gallons, does this sound right? also do you think they should discount my $79 service any for bringing my own coolant, what is a fair amount to request?
