Alright. Will keep an eye for the 'nitrate' thingy

Hm... Planning to flush everything out as it hasn't been changed for years.
For the metal cap part basically don't need to fill anything over there right

mind asking, workshop usually charge how much for a flush?

IIRC your car comes with Toyota Super LLC (pink) coolant from the factory. Do not use the normal red Toyota LLC ones as suggested previously.

Can get this coolant from Lazada (if you are lazy) or just get it directly from other authorised Toyota parts dealers in you are paranoid about genuine parts

Use normal water + coolant also can

Pointless?? Nono there is a lesson behind this comment: the steering fluid reservoir too has a metal cap.

I use this

Since you are flushing
Please take steps to remove air bubbles too.

Super long life is 50% premixed and normal long life is undiluted. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Flushing the system will involve more works. If you don't want to remove thermostat you will at least need to remove bypass hose to get most of old fluid out. I don't think it is necessary to flush the system if your car was kept in good condition and never add in any hardwater. Some people would suggest to flush the system with chrisfix style but I don't really find it works best.

To drain and fill or flush, yes you will need to add in fresh coolant over the radiator cap. Don't forget to remove and clean the coolant reservoir too as you can see some white solid substance at bottom of it if it never get wash properly for few years.

Long life coolant all are undiluted. Premixed will be mentioned on the bottle and water not needed IIRC.

Basically its just letting the radiator metal cap opened until it heats up right?

Btw, can we put R.O water like SeaMaster drinking water to mix with coolant?

Hm... so just to refill it will do? instead of flushing it

Caltex Extended Life Coolant

5 years or 250k km.

Can use for proton ah bro? Planning to topup for my saga flx, reaching 5 years but mileage less than 100k.. seldom go long distance..

Asian car no problem. Don't need special coolant.

Let the radiator cap opened, run the engine and let the fan cycle atleast 3 times.
I usually put a funnel at the radiator and fill it till the funnel also have water.
So when air bubbles are escaping, coolant will enter.
Try taping at the base, so it won't leak.

Use battery water, the one you buy to top up maintenance type battery.
Is actually distilled water.
