change coolant - Toyota Yaris Forums

On my ECHO draining the coolant with just the radiator drain got all of it out. I measured what came out and compared it with the published figures.

Interesting. Score one for Toyota! Actually, they probably based their "coolant capacity" on the amount that you could drain out rather than the full capacity of the system. I'd still give the system a rinse with some fresh water. Distilled water is cheap, why not?
