How many gallons do I need to drain and fill the radiator of a Sienna minivan? Thanks.

It will be in your owners manual. There are different capacities by year and engine. The "ballpark" range is 3 - 4 gallons. Your manual may state the capacity in liters - recall that a liter is just a little more than a quart. At larger capacities (13 quarts) you can just convert 1 for 1 - the difference will be too little to make a difference.

Provided it creates enough gas pressure...but it could drain a #20 cylinder quickly...I would use a #30 or #40 tank.

Toyota makes two versions of the coolant. One is full strength that you dilute to a 50:50 mixture with distilled water. The other is already diluted and you can add that directly to your coolant overflow tank. I would advise you to monitor your coolant level for a while to see if the level goes down. the best time to do this is when the engine has been allowed to cool down over night. Should you continue to lose coolant you probably have a leak. Check your oil and if it looks like brown cream you need to get that fixed asap as coolant is leaking into the engine via a bad gasket.

Jeff: There are no markings on the funnel. I believe it will hold 1/2 gallon. Once it is installed and the radiator is full, I would fill it up about half way so the system can bleed off any air. It helps that the radiator top is slightly elevated above the engine. Air bubbles should rise to the highest spot.

Sorta, with a little extra capacity.Depending upon the station and temperature, I have filled from 1.2 to 1.5 into the tank based upon THEIR meter. 90% of the time the fill from empty is 1.3 gallons.

I believe it was around 5 gallons when we filled ours. It must be completely full.

Add water. Instructions read a minimum 50/50 mix and maximum 70/30 coolant to water mix.

It depends on how thickly or thinly you apply it. If you roll it out real thin, you can probably squeeze two coats out of a gallon on, say, a 20-24 foot RV. This will give you good leak protection, and fair thermal insulation. If you put it on thicker (which gives better thermal insulation) you'll get less coverage. I used about a gallon per coat on my 24' motorhome. A friend used about 4 gallons on his 40-foot bus.

yes you do have an aluminum radiator in that car. drain all coolant from vehicle. fill with water add a quarter cup of radiator cleaner. and run for 15 to 20 minutes. drain and repeat if necessary. flush radiator with water. and refill with 50:50 mixture of antifreeze

I would pour half of the bottle in. If you need to use the other half I would flush the coolant system first.

The tank has a 2 litre capacity. Mine runs continuously on my boat, so I fitted it with a drain tube. This was very easy --- I used 5 minute epoxy to glue a 3/8-inch hose barb to the fron of the tank. After the epoxy dried, I drilled through the wall of the tank, using the hose barb as a guide.

I want to know that too. Based on the picture, it looks similar but I do not know the size. It seems that it is so hard to find a Radiator Coolant Tank for 1996 Toyota Camry

It is better then what they suggest. I did an 8 1/2 x 40 ft motor home , two coats, and it used about 2 1/2 gallons. Hope this helps.

Just one gal is plenty. Use compressed air and blow as much coolant as possible out. Start from the top and pour the prep fluid in till you see it flush out the bottom. Then blow out again with compressed air. Now your ready to add the waterless coolant.

"Auto-Drain" refers to the fact that that this unit pumps the water over the hot condenser coil in an attempt to evaporate it. How well this works depends on the humidity of the air. When the humidity is fairly low, you may never need to drain the tank. If the humidity is high, you may need to drain it in less than 8 hours. There is an auto-shut-down if the tank gets full.

You will need a total of 6.5 gallons. You fill with 5 gallons to start. Then, after first start-up . . . you will add another 1.5 gallons. If you live in a cold climate (like me) . . . make sure you buy automotive transmission fluid instead of the simpler hydraulic fluid. By the way . . . this is a great product . . . splits wood like butter.
