not really, my car was driving and shifting nicely before the fluids change. It still feels the same.

Nice informnation...love the music though!!! haha! Now when you say use only toyota antifreeze, is that a reccomendation or a warning? Is there anything wrong with using aanother type, say like Preston?

The dark fluid is normal, the fluid was probably fine which is why you were unable to discern any improvements after the fluid change.

I would recommend draining and refilling the unit a few times to remove as much of the old fluid as possible. Or, you can remove the lines and flush the system.

What does a "white plastick cock" mean in the video?

[warpedrotor]

The actual word is petcock meaning small valve or what to do if you're bored after working on your Camry.

Toyota antifreeze is recommended which is a warning. It is specially formulated to work with Toyota vehicles.

That is the drain for the radiator.

Wouldn't it be better to drop the pan and clean the magnet as well? To me it seems like some of the bolts are hard to reach. Any tip?

seemed like a PITA. I guess when the time comes I will have the dealer do it.
