You can get 2 gallons that are 50/50 and you should have some left,put some into overflow container till full.

park up hill on jack stands & leave radiator cap loose to burp air out. Go through cool to warm cycle where thermostat opens (upper hose will be hot).

Or, go to shop with evac/fill equipment & let them do flush & fill ($80).

Your 1997 Avalon will not work the same as when it was new. Midway is normal for a 1997 car without signs of leak. If you haven't change the coolant since you acquired the car, then flushing the old with new is the best suggestion.

It will need as much as it takes, which is impossible to tell depending on how you flushed it.
But your whole system takes more than 2 gallons, and since you want a 50/50 mix you know you will need more than one gallon of antifreeze. So you need to start by purchasing 2 gallons. If you have left over, it does not go bad. And if you do not quite have enough, you can probably add a little extra water because you probably did not flush all the antifreeze out.
Once you run it, then next time it will need more again after the heat bleeds the air out.

The total to refill the system is slightly less than 2 gallons. Purchase 1 gallon of the correct antifreeze and 1 gallon of distilled water. Mix them together 50/50 and you will have more than enough to fill the system after a drain and flush. Replace the thermostat at this time. Be sure and bleed all air from the system after the fill.

yes you do its the only way ,remove the bottom hose and it has them squeeze type hose pipe clips as well ,have fun ,or do what i do and thats take a heater hose off ,flush it out reversing flow a couple of time then fill with 100% antifreeze ,EASY ,two litres of neat antifreeze is enough unless your in norway then its 100% pure antifreeze ,or alaska as well i suppose

this means that you have a headgasket leak flush the system take out the antifreeze fill with just water put in a bottle of block seal / headgasket sealer run the engine for about 3 to 4 hrs then flush out the system again and fill with antifreeze (remember that block seal will clog your system (if) you don't get all the antifreeze out ( read the label on the bottle (autozone carries block seal) about 25;00 bucks

The Orange antifreeze called GM Dexi cool, (red to your husband LOL). It's ok you put the green antifreeze in. The difference is the Green antifreeze has a of 1 year or 30,000 miles and the Orange has a life expectancy of 5 years or 100,000 miles. Being your Lumina is 12 years old and if the Orange antifreeze has never been flushed out, most likely crystals have formed in the water jackets and passageways through out the cooling system. The crystals can be flushed out with Preston radiator flush, but will take a few flushes to ensure that most of the crystals are out. Once flushed out, replace the antifreeze with the GM Dexi cool 50/50 mix water/antifreeze. Too much water will freeze and can crack the engine block, radiator, or heater core. To much Antifreeze will gel up causing the coolant to flow slower and then the engine tends to over heat. Note, it's a good time to replace the thermostat and spend the extra money for the fail safe thermostat. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to answer any more questions.

Hello, and thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.

Before I would consider anything else, I would take your vehicle to a competant repair facility and get the automatic transmission fluid completely flushed. This may be all that your problem is.
