Default What type of coolant and where to add?

I'm not sure what kind of coolant is recommended for the sc400. Also I was going to bleed the coolant system of any air in the system. On any other car I've ever done it to you could add coolant straight to the radiator and add coolant to the overflow bottle. I've searched everywhere and the only place I can find to add coolant is the overflow bottle. Need a little help.
Thanks

Toyota 'red' coolant is dealer recommended, but you should be able to drain it all and use standard 'green' coolant.

I stay away from Dex-Cool..that stuff is nasty

+1 on Toyota's long life red coolant. That stuff is great. It makes your water pump happy.
