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...

ok so i think its about time to revive this thread
i want to "properly" flush my coolant... original coolant in the vehicle since i picked up the car...abt 2 yrs ago
my question... should i follow these directions?
what's up w/ the distilled water? is that necessary?
also would my local pep-boys have red coolant? or i have no choice to get it at the "stealership"?
thx fer the help
