Does anyone know the cooling system capacity of a 2013 Toyota RAV-4 with the 4 cylinder gasoline USA engine, not including the overflow bottle?
Test strips show the coolant to have a good Ph. but possibly pure antifreeze with NO water, that actually shows a freeze point of -8 F. ( Pure antifreeze actually has a higher freeze point temperature than a properly diluted antifreeze and deionized water mixture.)
I have a new refractcrometer for antifreeze. I have a graduated cylinder, and can remove a small amount and measure and add deionized water outside of the vehicle, and read the freeze point with the refractometer. But Toyota seems to hide the capacity in any information I find doing searches. With the results I figure out, and the vehicles cooling system capacity, I will know how much coolant to remove and replace with deionized water. And of course test it after it has been ran to mix and cooled off.
But I can not find the capacity of it.
So if you know, please help.
Thanks in advance.
