Attachment to post 16 has the repair manual instruction. One exception I'd make: don't bother with the engine block drain (maybe not mentioned in later editions?); there's at most a quarter cup drained there.

And your call re using maintenance mode, I have, but others haven't, successfully, and I know Toyota is prone to overkill. Live an' learn.

It's basically: drain from the radiator spigot, close it, refill reservoir to B line, drive.

From my notes: see I managed to drain 4.25 liters, so looks like you'd need to purchase a couple of US quarts

Thank you very much for your advice. the pump just arrived, I will install and drain the coolant.
