Coolant Flush Receipt Example
This receipt documents an engine coolant drain, flush, and refill on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE at 68,104 miles. The coolant system was drained completely, flushed with distilled water, and refilled with 1.5 gallons of OAT antifreeze to Toyota Red specification, the manufacturer-required chemistry for this vehicle. The fluid spec is called out on the receipt so the customer has documentation that the correct coolant type was used.
This coolant flush receipt documents complete radiator and coolant system flush with 50/50 antifreeze blend ($45 fluids) and 1.5 hours labor at $125/hr, $7 shop supplies fee, and 7% sales tax on parts, totaling $244.65 for a 2019 Subaru Outback at 65,000 miles.

Why does a coolant flush receipt specify OAT and the manufacturer's color?
Engine coolant comes in several incompatible chemistry types: IAT (green, older vehicles), OAT (orange or pink/red, many Asian vehicles), HOAT (orange or yellow, many European and domestic vehicles), and P-OAT (pink, Honda/Acura). Mixing types causes corrosion and dramatically shortens coolant life. Toyota specifies OAT in red (Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or equivalent) for RAV4 models. The receipt callout 'Toyota Red, Mfr. Spec' proves the correct chemistry was used: the customer cannot verify this without the receipt documentation.
How is coolant flush labor priced differently from repair labor?
Coolant flush labor at dealerships and franchise shops is typically priced as a fixed menu fee (e.g. $105.00) rather than as flat-rate hours × shop rate. This fixed price covers the drain, flush, and fill procedure including all setup time. The coolant itself is priced separately as a parts line at a per-gallon rate. This is the same pattern used for brake fluid flushes, transmission fluid services, and other fluid service procedures: labor as a fixed menu price, fluid as a measured parts line.
