How Often Should Toyota Antifreeze Be Replaced?

[McJosie]

Toyota antifreeze should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. If long-life coolant is used, the replacement interval can be extended. Precautions for Using Antifreeze: Perform a Comprehensive Check When Replacing Antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct an inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, especially at the joints of the hoses. If there is any antifreeze leakage, replace the hoses or clean and secure the joints as needed. Never Open the Radiator Cap When the Antifreeze is Hot: Do not open the radiator cap or drain valve when the antifreeze is at a high temperature to avoid burns. Clean the Radiator of Scale Before Adding Antifreeze: If there is scale in the radiator, it is best to thoroughly clean it with a radiator cleaner before adding new antifreeze.
