I just tried to do it on my 3VZFE and i botched it.

I found the drain for the radiator easy enough but the engine block drain plug eludes me. Where its supposed to be is on the rear bank but I just cant find it as there many things in the way, like the distributor, etc etc.

I got the car with green coolant, so I went to Toyota and bought a gallon of red coolant for about $16 and 2 gallons of distilled water for $2 from supermarket.

I ended up just draining the radiator, flushing what I could with tap, then added a gallon of distilled, ran the car, then I drained and filled with distilled and coolant.

Going to try again to find the damn drain tap and do it again.

Also ratio of coolant is notless than 50%but no more than 70%. Toyota says...
