I did this a few weeks ago on my '13 Sequoia, but I did not flush it. Just drained the rad and the valves on the block. Replaced with Toyota red and distilled water at 50/50. The fluid I drained was as clear as the fluid I replaced, so I felt flushing was not necessary.
Toyota parts reviews
I replaced the old ignition coil with a Denso one. The car is running great after the replacement.
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
Some shitty Achilles tires to Falken RT-615s.
I went from some random tires (Achilles or something) to Yoko AD08rs and yeah those were amazing. So much better on Khanacross and back roads
If you're in the market, I highly suggest Bilstein 5100s. I have them on my 1st Gen and love em.
JZA80 Supra TT 4 piston front brake swap with front SS lines and freshly rebuilt calipers, new rotors, and pads (stock front brakes were grinding metal to metal, so it was a safety concern for me)
I put the Premieres on my wife's Corolla and they are really amazing in the wet. We took it up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago to catch the sunset, then it started raining on the way down. I tried to get it to understeer on some of the switchbacks just to see how much grip was left and couldn't get it to slide. They are not super sporty/firm and the steering response is a little slow in the H-rated version but overall I have been really happy with them.
I have Michelin Xi3's. I can't recommend them if you care about your car's performance at all. If you don't GAF then these are fine. Probably ideal for a Prius. They work fine in snow, the brakes work on ice, and the ride is alright. That's all the praise I can give them.
I would advise from purchasing Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors and pads. Purchased and installed them. They told me the upgraded rotors and pads would reduce the brake fade I experience from driving a 1999 4Runner with a 3 inch Lift and 32s in the mountains. Initially I saw an increase in stopping power and endurance. Now, 6 months later, I have been experiencing horrible vibrations while braking and at highway speeds. I replaced my pads which were already worn out. Still experienced horrible vibrations. Today I replaced the rotors and have finally been able to brake smoothly and safely. The Power Stop pads wore out in 6 months and the rotors got warped.
