This is the best and most detailed video I’ve seen yet, thank you! May I ask though, as I do not plan on using the method with the extended stationary funnel you used here, would I first fill the radiator to full with new coolant and the reservoir to half way ? Also, while burping out the air, does the radiator cap need to be open? One video mentioned that you have to close the cap while burping the air out, wasn’t sure! Thank you for any advice you can offer

There's a sticker on the hood that you should change your coolant based on maintenance reminder code or 10 years whichever comes first then every 5 years after. Too early to change the coolant. Good video anyway

I have two quick questions: - This looks more like a basic change than an actual flush. - What are your thoughts on doing a proper flush and changing from the Honda OEM coolant to (gasp!) an aftermarket coolant so you can upgrade to a HOAT coolant?
@1108971003 жыл бұрын
Basically this is only my first try to do the flush. Iam not really a mechanic but i love to do the basic maintenance of my vehicles. I dont know but i might just use honda OEM for my cars😀
@TheAikiToneRanger3 жыл бұрын
@@110897100 Great video! The general issue with upgrading from an IAT or OAT coolant to a HOAT coolant is that you need to fully flush out the IAT or OAT first. While generally speaking HOAT coolants are superior because they last longer, the further issue specific to Honda is that Honda does specify to use their (or at least a comparable) non-silicate non-borate coolant. The issue with the silicates is that they precipitate and act as an abrasive in the coolant system. In an iron engine they're supposed to absorb into the surface layer of the coolant passages and coat the cooling system to prevent corrosion. In an aluminum engine like the Hondas, they don't absorb and begin to collect around rubber bits and edges, consequently causing leakage premature wear. HOAT coolants, while longer lasting, do tend to have at least low amounts of silicate. So aside from needing a full flush to make the change regardless, there's also debate as to whether they are actually superior for the Honda engines' coolant system, or if it's actually better to stick with the not as good but perhaps more fitting Honda coolant, or at least something that fits the description closely enough.

In this case it could be a bad radiator cap.. check also the thermostat and water pump. But first check radiator cap. Or maybe your radiator itself is malfunctioning.
