Replacing coolant 5.7L

I've seen diagrams showing block drains on the 5.7, one on each side. But I'll be darned if I can see them. Possibly one on the passenger side, just above and slightly in front of the right engine mount. I can't see the same thing on the driver side. Not even sure what I see on the passenger side is a drain, and if so, if it's even going to be accessible. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to drain all 13.6 qts.

So.... any of you gearheads ever completely change out the coolant? Any pointers?

 

Perfect!! Thanx.

 

Are you doing a drain and fill or are u using a coolant flush as well?

 

Thanks for posting the video. Looks like I'll have to wait until the weather cools down a bit if the heater needs to be on

 

Don't think a flush will be necessary, assuming the coolant looks clean. But if it looks like it needs it, I will do it.

Get yourself a no spill funnel if you don't already have one. Makes coolant bleeding jobs way less messy.

 

Great video clip ... Thanks for posting!!

 

Here is where to access the passenger side 10 mm block drain bolt on a 2008 Tundra 5.7 Limited 4WD with towing package.

 

what coolant did you use?

Use this. 3 gallons from the Toyota parts dept, can’t go wrong.

 

can I use this in my 98 Tacoma and 2010 tundra?

 

Unsure, yes.
