How Much Coolant for a Drain and Fill?

3rd Gen V6 SR5 with 100k miles. Looking to drain and fill the coolant. How much coolant should I pick up from the dealership to do this?

 

2 gallons will leave you just a bit extra.

The Tacoma has a handy block drain with a nipple for a 5/16" ID hose on the passenger side, very easy to drain the coolant.
Remove passenger wheel, pop the top snap on the splash shield and gently fold it down.



Way back there you will find this drain, slip a 5/16" ID hose on it, the radiator drain takes the same size hose.



A long extension and a 10MM socket opens the drain.

 

Rusty I have to say you did a great job on your walk thru, one post very clear and concise!
Hey I used breaker points too, just thinking back when I had a young tech in the shop (recently) that saw a carburetor on a SBC in the shop and didn’t know what it was!

 

This post should be a maintenance sticky!
