OUTLINE
The cooling system is a pressurized, forced-circulation type.
A thermostat with a bypass valve is located in the water inlet housing to maintain a suitable temperature in the cooling system.
The flow of the coolant makes a U-turn in the cylinder block to ensure a smooth flow. In addition, a bypass passage is enclosed in the cylinder head and the cylinder block.
Warm coolant from the cylinder head is sent to the throttle body to prevent freeze-up.
Toyota Genuine Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) is used.
SPECIFICATION
Engine Coolant

| 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) | |

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) |
