Thanks for the video. I am planning to do a first time coolant replacement for my 2019 Honda Ridgeline soon.

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, glad to help. Good luck with the project 👍

[@RM18188]

Thanks Jonny. This is the third video you’ve helped me out with. Great job!

Super thanks to you for this tip! I always rely on the mechanic to do things like this, next time I will do it myself.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

I just bought a 2010 Civic from a friend of mine, and I want to go over the engine and clean it up. The 2 things that make me nervous are, transmission fluid change, and coolant. The air pocket thing worries me a bit, because I feel I may do something wrong. I may try it since watching this, but I'll be nervous doing it. Haha

[@JonnyDIY]

Nice. You'll be good, just take your time. And oil change, transmission fluid change and coolant change are all good places to start 👍

[@GAATL_Viet]

Hey, just a quick note: if that car has more than 100k miles, and the trans fluid has never been changed before, then you just have to leave it, don't touch the fluid in there. If it has been at least changed 1 time before, you can do a drain-refill maintenance. Good luck!

[@souloho3900]

@@GAATL_Viet why leave it?

[@unknownplayer7667]

Probably so it doesn't mess anything up with the transmission since it has more than 100k miles​@@souloho3900

[@rickschwarz3902]

you did not mention what percent of coolant drains when draining from petcock. (How much remains in the engine block?) IF I suspect very old coolant, would want at least 95% drained

[@JonnyDIY]

Depends on what vehicle it is. Probably less than 95% but that's why I recommend doing it more frequently with this drain and fill method 👍

[@johnjohn40100]

Hey Johnny, when do you usually change the coolant? Every 30k miles?100k? I'm getting mixed answers. Should i change it since its been 5 years? I have a 2018 crv

[@JonnyDIY]

Usually 5 years or 100k miles which ever comes first. So sounds like it's time 👍

[@johnjohn40100]

@@JonnyDIY i only have 35k miles. I'll probably change next oil change which is a few months. What happens if i wait til 100k?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@johnjohn40100 that sounds like a good idea, I wouldn't wait til 100k if putting miles on that slowly. I would just do the drain and fill as I showed. Very simple process and quick. If you dont change it can break down and cause corrosion and lead to failure of more parts in cooling system

[@johnjohn40100]

@@JonnyDIY sounds good. What car is yours on the video? Is it a turbo charged? Or base model LX? What year is that?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@johnjohn40100 that one was a 2017 base model lx with the non turbo 2.4l

[@zackquinones711]

Start the car up or just turn the car on where it’s just the battery running?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@zackquinones711 to burp any air from system you want to run the car for a while with radiator cap off 👍

[@edmon179]

Thanks for sharing this video i know helps a lot and save big bucks. How does it works for Crv 17 1.5 engine i have different set up with reservoir/radiator fill all in one? Thanks appreceited

[@JonnyDIY]

So it'll be the same process but you'll do it through the reservoir tank. So remove cap, drain from bottom radiator and refill into reservoir. If need to flush can do same thing but with distilled water when refilling through reservoir 👍

[@edmon179]

Do i have to fill the reservoir above the max level while doing the process and reservoir cap on or off? Thanks

[@JonnyDIY]

@@edmon179 cap off just like I show radiator cap off, yes keep adding til full. Can always drain bit with petcock if too full.

[@edmon179]

its totally reservoir full like your radiator ? , i always follow your videos when i need a car maintenance. appreciated God bless u . ill give an update on this job.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@edmon179 can slowly add to reservoir til gets to max fill line 👍

[@mikebertrand2243]

Thanks, very well presented.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you and you're welcome, happy I could help you out 👍

[@fretsman68]

Hi, Jonny, maybe explain what should be done if it does start overheating with the air pocket?

[@JonnyDIY]

Need to get the air out of system, so you just keep "burping" it as I showed. Radiator cap off, engine running, front end on hill or ramps to help bring bubbles out top of radiator 👍

[@fretsman68]

@@JonnyDIY awesome, I'm sure a lot of your viewers will appreciate that explanation! Keep making great videos!

[@JonnyDIY]

@@fretsman68 thank you 🙏👍

[@100HoneyComb]

I sure do!!

[@bill1828]

I was told that if you notice your car is overheating, to turn off the car’s engine IMMEDIATELY and allow the engine to cool for 15-20 minutes. Once the engine has cooled, you can keep going. The last thing you want is an engine that has over heated.

[@armando56789]

Do you grip the drain plug on the fin or the entire plug with thr pliers?

[@JonnyDIY]

On both fins gently squeeze and loosen 👍

[@lachancla6118]

Where did you get the car ramps?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@lachancla6118 they're rhino ramps, I put a link to them in description 👍 theres a bunch of similar ones available too

[@epicmoguls]

Do you drain less coolant with front jacked?

[@JonnyDIY]

Possibly. I guess you could drain it with the back jacked up or inclined. Then raise the front and refill. Front raised will help any air pockets escape 👍

[@kalani1987]

​@@JonnyDIYbest to have the car level on 4 jacks. If you use a non spill funnel, the air bleeds out nicely

[@ajshah2748]

Is it the same process for CRV hybrid?

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes, same process for pretty much any vehicle 👍

[@johndavidibarra3457]

Is this same process for 2019 Oddysey?

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes it will be same process for almost every vehicle. Only thing changes is location of drain plug and top fill caps 👍

[@Vivianauxito]

Hello, Jonny. We previously emailed you for doing an AuTo LED review,unfortunately it didn’t work out. Could you give me a nudge about my inquiry?

[@tonytdinh9273]

Do i need the funnel kit or any funnel? Thanks

[@JonnyDIY]

A regular funnel helps pouring the coolant in 👍

No tilting the car. - Not. Needed.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@bysykler4959 it helps to burp air from system, but to drain, no not necessary 👍

[@bysykler4959]

@@JonnyDIY No, you start the motor and let the water pump circulate the bubbles out of the system. There is no tilting needed, there is no “burping” needed.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@bysykler4959 air pockets can get trapped in system, elevating front end helps. That's why they even make tools like a coolant vacuum filler 👍

[@PaulHira]

Maybe for skinny guys no tilting how bout the fat guys 😂😂😂
