    Can anyone help me with a Radiator fluid change. I'm looking to flush out my radiator fluid on my 2014 Taco. It would be my first time doing this. Is it like any other radiator flush? Should I be worried about air pockets in the line?

    Thanks.

    Why are you wanting to flush?
    Factory fluid is good for 100,000mi.

    Long story short...I got Toyota Radiator fluid for free, but dont want to store it. I wanted to just do the flush and see how to do it.

    Famous last words. Just store it until you need it.

    This is not the best time of year to be doing this. Yes you should worry about air pockets.
