I have quick question if anyone can answer, i have been searching this forum for hours to get answer but couldnt find a match.
I have 2008 lx570 which is basically same as lc200, i wanted to change coolant, so i bought 2 gallons toyota pink coolant and drained coolant through small cock valve on radiator and drained roughly 2 gallons. Then i started filling in reservior tank not through the radiator cap and filled above the F line in reservior. Put cap back on the reservior tank as well as the radiator cap and started engine let it run and started squeezing big hoses connected to radiator but the level never changed in reservior tank and after about 10 mins or so i looked at temp guage it was up at H level so i quickly shut off the engine. At this point radiator was super hot as well as upper radiator hose was also too hot to touch, i started pouring coolant in radiator through radiator cap and it took good bunch of coolant, then i let it sit for couple of hours to cool off and came back to find out the level in reservior fell about couple of inches but still lil above the F line, cranked it up and let it idle for about 5 mins the temp guage seemed to not rising but the radiator started getting hot as well as upper radiator hose and level didnt change in reservior. I dont know what i am doing wrong, i thought it was simple drain n fill but i guess i am doing something wrong here. Can anyone please help me.
