How often does the coolant need to be replaced on a 2000 Toyota Solara?

Toyota's website and the Toyota Owners Group site (where you'll find a complete maintenance schedule posted) says the first coolant replacement is at 100,000 miles or 120 months whichever comes first. Thereafter coolant changes are scheduled at 50,000 miles or 60 months whichever comes first. This is an arguable statement but I'd suggest sticking with Toyota's own brand of coolant rather than picking up whatever's on sale at a department store. If you're due for a change and will be doing it yourself you should flush the system thoroughly before adding the new coolant. You can use a commercial product or the old shade tree version, a 50/50 mix of distilled water and white vinegar. If you use the latter pour it in then run the engine for a half hour or so. Allow to cool then drain. Refill the system with distilled water, run the engine again then drain. Now you have a nice clean system and can add fresh coolant. If you use one of the commercial flushes follow the instructions on the container. Cheers

AnswerThe coolant should be totally drained and replaced every 2 years. Use premixed coolant so you don't have to dilute with any water. If you do use concentrated antifreeze, dilute only with DISTILLED water. Make sure you buy either genuine Honda coolant, or silicate-free coolant that is designed for aluminum engines.
