OUTLINE
The cooling system uses a pressurized forced circulation system with a pressurized reservoir tank.
An engine coolant distribution pathway is provided between the left and right banks of the engine block.
A thermostat with a bypass valve is located in the plastic water inlet housing to maintain suitable temperature distribution in the cooling system.
A cooling fan control system in which the ECM optimally controls cooling fan speed is used.
Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) is used as the engine coolant.

SPECIFICATION
Engine Coolant
Toyota Genuine SLLC is used. The maintenance interval is as shown in the table below:
| Engine Coolant Type | Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids). Do not use plain water alone. | |
| Maintenance Intervals | First Time | 160000 km (100000 miles) |
| Subsequent | Every 80000 km (50000 miles) | |
| Color | Pink | |
Tech Tips
SLLC is pre-mixed (50% coolant and 50% deionized water). Therefore, no dilution is needed when SLLC in the vehicle is added or replaced.
Thermostat
| Thermostat Opening Temperature | 80°C to 84°C (176°F to 183°F) |
