    Also a good practice is to change out the Thermostat after about two or three anti-Freeze changes too. Easy to do on this car and would save some possible damage to the engine if the 'stat gets stuck closed. An easy to forget or overlooked item.

    I will be doing this form my 2014 CRV in coming weeks. This videos surely helps! Thank you for sharing. Since, I do not have spill free funnel, do I have to fill reservoir first before running engine for 20 minutes? To confirm, I have to put heat at max and fan speed at minimum during 20 minutes run.

    • @RBTheMechanic
      @RBTheMechanic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same process full the radiator much as u can fill the reservoir half way put the radiator cap on since u don’t get the funnel and let it run for 10 minutes then shut it off let it cool
      Off once it’s nice and cold fills radiator and reservoir if it goes down and run for 10 more minutes should be good

    This is a partial flush. It's better than not doing anything. If you are particular do the flush/refill procedure.... then heat up (idle or drive it) the engine until thermostat opens (WATER TEMP GAUGE STOPS GOING UP AT A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF OF GAUGE RANGE), let circulate for a bit... let cool off... repeat until drained fluid looks new.

    My accord only took somewhere between 1 and 1.25 gallons. Also, the fan kicked on shortly after startup when the car wasnt even warmed up yet. I used a lily and besides the few bubbles that came out when I squeezed the hose, the coolant level in the lily didn't really go down after the initial fill. I let it idle for quite a while and test drove it and everything seemed fine, so hopefully it's ok. I'll check it in a couple days

      You can drain it from the radiator it should be fair enough should be about the same spot as this accord just give it good time to drain out completely if u want to go further change out the thermostats since it’s 2006 accord pretty old thermostats if u haven’t changed it ever

I had already bought the coolant at Honda and the same funnel as in the video at Autozone....took the funnel back and went to a local shop where they used the coolant I bought and just charged me $65 labor. I got the Coolant at Honda Dealer $17 per gallon.

    I was waiting and waiting with the engine running. The coolant was just dripping. The fans did not start. It is 60F here so maybe that is why? The engine temp gauge was in the middle. I got nervous and turned the car off. Then more coolant came rushing after turning the engine off. The total coolant collected including the reservoir was 1.2 gallons. Any idea? Is this enough? Should I let the car idle for even longer watching the temp gauge?

    Thanks for the great video! I have a question though. I’ll be using a basic funnel to pour in the fresh coolant. Do i need to fill it up all the way in the radiator and then half way between low and full in the reservoir before running the engine with the heat on?

    • @RBTheMechanic

      Fill the radiator and I would fill more than half I’m sure it will suck it in

    After you burp the system and have let the fans come on twice to circulate through the system, do you let the car cool down before taking off the lily or can you take it off right away and just put on the radiator cap?

    Hey RB, I have a 2013 Honda Accord LX with the 2.4L engine and had a question about the coolant reservoir level. When my engine is cold and has sat overnight, the coolant in the reservoir reads exactly at the "min" line. After a drive and getting the engine fully warmed up, it is about 1/3 of the way between "min" and "max". Do you suggest I top off my coolant reservoir, or should I be good for now?

That’s why I didn’t know if there was a huge difference between the drain and fill, and hooking up the machine that “supposedly” removed any contaminates that may be present, per what the dealerships have said.
      Do you ever recommend flushing it the old school way with any liquid solvents or water and flushing it multiple times until the system is completely clear and rid of the old coolant?
