Ty for this video. I’m a 25 year old woman and was able to do this on my 2012 Civic with no issue thanks to you and several other repair videos I’ve watched. I’ve replaced my blower motor, engine air filter, and now my thermostat thanks to helpful people like you giving us these gems. This was my first repair that I’ve done under the hood. I was intimidated at first but once I got going I found the confidence to continue. Thank you for saving me money and keeping me educated on my car. I love my civic! These cars are so reliable and relatively inexpensive and easy to repair when issues crop up. I’m a Honda owner for life. Only ever driven Honda’s and they’ve never failed me. 💁🏽♀️💙
Do you need to remove the coolant if you got it replaced, or is it one of those things where it’s not recommended to have it in the car for safety reasons?
it’s saving your skin, your engine & housing components & money by draining the coolant out since you’re taking the hoses out, you wouldn’t want coolant to spill all over since it sits in the radiator, not just the extra reservoir
Thank you for making this straight to the point.

Just turn the car on with the coolant funnel connected and let the motor bleed out the air no need to go back and forth
exactly 100%
The thing is the reservoir behind the radiator is made of thick plastic and you can’t even see the coolant level
Thank you so much for the video. Really clear and helpful!
Lovin this Honda series 👍🏽
Great explanation…thanks much
Burping ( release air in cooling system) not required anymore?

Can you change the thermostat without draining all the coolant?
Would that make my check engine light turn off?
