How to Change COOLANT for HONDA Civic 10th Gen Flush & Bleed Procedure 1.5L Turbo DIY 2016-2021

[@marrud314]

Thank you very much for making your videos because you have helped me a lot with the maintenance of the Civic 2016 touring 1.5 turbo and this has made me learn and save a lot. Congratulations much success with your channel.

[@Sals_Garage]

Thank you! I just like to help others save money and work on their cars. Glad you found it helpful. 🙏

[@lifenz1]

The proper way is to keep the cap loose so air can escape.. Run 5 mins.. Turn off.. Refill and its done

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@scottshepherd1365]

The proper way is to vacuum fill.

Useful info, thanks for posting.

Filling the coolant with distilled water is repeated 3-4 times or the coolant 50/50 is repeated that many times?

[@Sals_Garage]

Distilled water since it’s much cheaper to waste that but 50/50 coolant would be best.

Very thorough and detailed video, hubby! 🥳🤗

Not sure if this matters but is the process the same with the 2.0L?

[@Sals_Garage]

Yes it is, good luck! 👍

[@JermsDNA]

Great tutorial and video as always! 🤩

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks Jerms! 🙏 🙏 you the best

[@vtecef9]

Hey Sal, correct me if I’m wrong. But I thought if you use antifreeze you don’t need distilled water. Because the antifreeze does the anti-corrosion.

[@Sals_Garage]

Need to mix it with the coolant to get the proper cooling performance.

[@yanivezra7287]

How much coolant did you end up using throughout the whole process with the filling up a few days after?

[@Sals_Garage]

2 gallons

You got some kind of speedometer on the windshield…what is that?

@@totljag1 I don’t know in my heart mind and spirit. I’d like to believe it’s called a radiator plug for a reason but kids these days just think that it’s cool To find alternate routes like they rediscovered America again, bro pull the radiator plug😂🇺🇸

[@javierramos4865]

When you were running the distilled water and raised the heat to max at idle, did you also turn off the A/C? I saw you turned off the A/C after putting in the new coolant before driving.

[@Sals_Garage]

1 gallon, but you can do as many flushes as you would like 👍

How many liters of engine coolant does it take?

[@Sals_Garage]

1.5 to 2 gallons.

[@amiryousaf2727]

Never use these screw clamps. The tensioner one u just changed is the best design as it grips more on high pressure.

[@Sals_Garage]

Good tip 👍

[@mccart1992]

Guys you don’t need to use distilled water for coolant flush and change. If you don’t drain all distilled water out of radiator AND engine block you WILL leave water in the cooling system. ALL DATA says to just flush and refill using radiator drain plug, below radiator. You will never find a recommendation for using distilled water when doing coolant flush on Honda service manuals.

[@Sals_Garage]

@@mccart1992 thanks for sharing. 👍

[@blahblah8372]

Correct. Some ppl just apply what they used to do on their previous vehicles and bring that practice to new ones. We'll see what happens to this civic!

[@Sals_Garage]

@@blahblah8372 I’ll keep everyone updated! Thx 🙏

[@ehrenburn]

you know there is a coolant bolt on the block of the engine as well 🤔🤔

[@Sals_Garage]

@@ehrenburn correct, maybe you can show us where it is on the 1.5 L

[@michaelwright1602]

I do not see how your are getting all of the distilled water out of the system, you are winding up with a very diluted coolant using the Honda 50/50 mix, which will damage the motor and other components as it is not cooling properly. Using this distilled water method, you should be using 100% Honda Concentrate fluid, not the 50/50 mix you used to refill. Also, Honda does not recommend coolant flushing their motors, a simple drain and fill every 30,000 miles is all that is required. This could be sooner or later depending upon the operating conditions. And with a turbo, I would definitely do the Honda coolant drain and fill every 30,000 miles without fail, or sooner if you really get on the motor.

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@nightrider2k6]

Its not every 30,000 miles, thats excessive maintanenace, just more money for the dealer, its when the maintenance minder comes on which is around 100,000 miles, modern coolant last a very long time.

[@Sals_Garage]

@@nightrider2k6 correct 👍

[@noobwow2009]

Thanks!

[@Sals_Garage]

Anytime! Good luck 👍

[@swavebeatz]

Thought it was every 30 k

[@Sals_Garage]

You can definitely do that too.

[@MegaHollywood1971]

Nope...you drained very little. Need to open the engine block (located center right as you look at the bay). AND You would need to remove the HOSE as you showed to get the debris out as well (if any).

[@freedomyeahright]

Seriously why didn’t you use the drain access point on the driver side. What you are demonstrating is way more difficult than intended. Feel sorry for anyone following this demo. Sorry dude, not trying to be rude but this is not an efficient method. DON”T DO WHAT HE DID FOLKS!!!!!

[@Sals_Garage]

My method worked great. No issues to report. Feel free to do what you prefer. Good day sir.

[@VeagleTsui]

I agree, it works for him but all those extra steps like the unbolting might create more problem for other people, it's just unnesscary.

[@Sals_Garage]

@@VeagleTsui there are multiple options. I showed where the drain plug was if people want to do it. It’s actually difficult to remove the whole entire intake and put it back together so this method is more efficient for me.

[@Sals_Garage]

Thank you bro! You the man.

[@JoseMartinez-2018]

WTF 😳. You are way over doing it. Ppl majority of this is not necessary. Don't ever use any kind of water. Wrong clamp. That new clamp will not expand when the hose gets hot. Making it possible to blow out the hose. This is why there is clamp on the so it may expand when it warm. This guy has no idea what he is doing. He didn't burp the sytoms for the air bubbles. Please don't destroy your car. Do not listen to this fool. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Sals_Garage]

Bleeding the coolant system has already been covered in the video. Distilled water is fine to use in the coolant system as well to flush it out. I haven’t had any issues at all with the new clamp and I have used it plenty of times on other cars. Good day 👍
