Engine Coolant Toyota Land Cruiser 100 рестайлинг

INSPECTION

HINT

Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.

1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR The engine coolant level should be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines at normal temperature 20°C (68°F). If low, check for leaks and add "Toyota Long Life Coolant" or equivalent up to the "FULL" line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY Remove the radiator cap. CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure. There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant should be free from oil. If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace the coolant. Reinstall the radiator cap.

Scheme 1

1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT Remove the radiator cap. CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure. Remove the 3 drain plugs on the engine and radiator, and drain the coolant. Close the 3 drain plugs. Torque: 12.7 N.m (130 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf) for engine
2. REFILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT Slowly fill the system with coolant. Use of improper coolants may damage engine cooling system. Use "Toyota Long Life Coolant" or equivalent and mix it with plain water according to the manufacturer's directions. Use of the coolant which includes more than 50% [freezing protection down to -35°C (-31°F)] or 60% [freezing protection down to -50°C (-58°F)} of ethylene-glycol is recommended, but not more than 70%. NOTE: Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water alone. The coolant should be mixed with plain water (preferably demineralized water or distilled water). Capacity: W/Front heater: 14.8 liters (15.6 US qts, 13.0 Imp. qts) w/Front heater and rear heater: 15.3 liters (16.2 US qts, 13.4 Imp. qts) Install the radiator cap. Bleed the cooling system. Start the engine, and open the heater water valve. Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 - 2,500 RPM, and warm up the engine. Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down. Refill coolant into the reservoir until it is "FULL".
3. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS
4. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFIC GRAVITY CORRECTLY
