Way good idea. I even have some CRC Mas AirFlow Cleaner. My 1993 Ranger has a K&N Air Filter and I tend to slightly over oil it. Anyway, CRC Mas AirFlow Cleaner always fixed idle problems that occured shortly after cleaning.

Adding that to my list of thing to do next week end.

I'm going to bring up my 1993 Ranger again. I changed the coolant every 50,000 miles and I always added one bottle of Prestone Radiator Complete Care and Never Had A Cooling System problem. At 221,000 miles, not one cooling system problem

Just for the heck of it I added half a bottle to the Yaris (only a 5qt cooling system) shortly after I bought it. I wonder if it will also help the Yaris.

I think I'll go ahead and change it next weekend (along with a light cleaning of the Mass AirFlow sensor), thank you for your input.

I wouldn't mix anything with the Toyota coolant. If I recall, it is a pretty unique formula that they seem pretty adamant about not mixing any other fluids with it....I could be wrong so read that section in the owners manual or the label on the jug from Toyota.
