How often do you change the coolant in a Lexus?
The specified coolant is Toyota Super Long Life Coolant Pink – the capacity is 9.1 litres and the change interval is 10 years to first change then every 5 years. I have to admit to using Comma X-Stream G30 instead.
Do you have to flush your is250s with distilled water?
If your coolant and header tank is clean, as it should be on well-maintained IS250s you don’t need to flush with ‘distilled’ water. It will just dilute the coolant. (And BTW – it’s best to buy readymixed coolant – that way you get the correct mix and there’s no risk of tapwater contamination should you plan to use that rather than deionised water.)
How do you change coolant in a Lexus?
Correct step would be 1) flush radiator bottom, 2) clean reservoir tank, 3) unplug top and bottom hoses that goes engine to radiator, 4) drain engine block valves on the photo (Step 3, I done this job for waterpump + thermostat operation, you may not needed).
