Open th drain cock at bottom of the radiator in the center. You can un screw it all the way out. Let drain for approx 15 min till nothing else comes out but very slow drips. If you remove the radiator cap it will speed up this process. then replace drain cock and fill system. It will only take one gallon to fill the radiator and overflow tank. Note you will only need a drain pan, small funnel, some rags and ONE gallon of anti freeze from dealership. The coolant should be about $15.00 and its blue in color can't seem to buy it anywhere else.
DO NOT FLUSH the coolant system on a northstar. Drain the coolant, replace with 50/50 Dexcool and fresh clean water, and you're good to go. Especially NEVER NEVER buy a "Coolant Flush" at a dealer or quicky-lube place. All you'll get is the previous sucker's engine gunk pumped in to your engine.

Drain and properly dispose (recycle) the old coolant. Put one bottle of Radiator Flush(from am auto parts store)in the radiator and refill with water. Run the car a idle(leave the heater ON to flush the heater core)for approx. 5 minutes. Drain and properly dispose of the flush liquid. Refill radiator with 50/50 mix of coolant and water or all premixed coolant.

To flush the coolant in a 2002 Toyota Echo you will need to drain it first. Flush with fresh water and then refill with coolant and distilled water.
A coolant flush at Meineke costs about 200.00. That is a very good price for a coolant flush. I highly recommend choosing Meineke as your primary go to for car problems.
Do you mean flush the oil (not recommended) or flush the coolant?
Take it to dealer and hope they do it correctly, There is a plug on bottom of radiator loosen and it drains coolant out of radiator, but not out of engine, There are plugs on the side of the engine block that have to be removed to drain coolant out of block. Probably impossible to get to and accidents happen, sorry I hope this helps some.
yes
Low coolant level or faulty coolant level senser. Did a radiator flush and replaced water bottle with sensor... still nothing.
It will bubble (soapy). remove the bottle & wash it out & top it up with the correct coolant before you drive it. If you already have driven it you should get a cooling system flush $50-80.00
