I just went back and watched this particular mechanic install a starter on this same car. I have to show much appreciation to her, granted the lift makes what she does easier but man she works around a lot of stuff that I couldn't get around at all.
AS an added tip, everything here was great except it didn't do the block, its fine depending on change interval and coolant condition. For the block as well, just run the car enough for coolant to cycle and drain then refill with distilled water (or coolant premix if you got money like that). Do that a couple times and then fill one last time (premix if you were using that, concentrated if you were using water).
I would advise against using distilled water for a drain & refill because the 50/50 mix that is already in the system will get further diluted. Getting that ratio back would require the entire cooling system be completely flushed. It's certainly more expensive but doing things right is worth it.
WC my 2010 CRV just passed 100k miles and the maintenance notifier on the dash gave me the code to change coolant with my next oil change. I’ve read that the first change is around 100k miles and then every 30k after that.
@@alsaysamone4148 You are technically correct.You could in theory use a non OEM coolant if you could totally drain and flush the old fluid but that was not shown. The risk is that you damage your car if two non compatible coolant react with each other
Do I do this same process when flushing it with distilled water? No idea what the past mechanic put in there but it’s not the manufactures recommended coolant so I gotta flush it out.
After 10+ years and 100K miles, does the coolant gets "dirty" ad become a bit black, or when you drain and bleed it, the old coolant would still look green and clear? Thanks!
SOS for Honda Crv 2002-2006 use 5w20 (0w20 Europe) if u have 100.000 and under. If you have 100.000 up use 5w30 ( I searched every manual) i want to help for crv lovers. (Honda oil-Liquid Moly- Mobile 1- Valvoline- Elf-Total BEST BRANDS) reliable sources. And for coolant fluid use only Honda Genuine COOLANT (Type-2) OR blue coolants (Mannol, Zerex, Peak, Valvoline, Prestone)
You do realize that you are showing rookies....If the plastic underbody pan needs to be released, then show us just how, not everybody knows. And why use specialized equipment/funnels that the average driveway mechanic does NOT have....show us how with what we would have.
At 1:55 you failed to take your own advice. Honda coolant is like there automatic transmission fluid... Unique to Honda and the Honda brand must be used exclusively. Anyone who says differently (and there are many) does not know what they're talking about PERIOD
Not entirely true. While I do recommend OEM Honda coolant, Valvoline Zerex Blue and Peak Blue coolant should both be perfectly safe to use. I do highly recommend only using OEM Honda Transmission fluid but honestly would feel safe using Amsoil ATF.
Pls im trying to find out how and what to do can you pls help me out any way would help a lot .in comments i see everyone saying blue coolant from honda .and isn't there another part that coolant holds in the engine that must be release as well?

She forgot to drain the overflow container before filling up the coolant. Make sure you change your old coolant from the overflow container.!

Honda “Aporived” Type 2 is blue as of 2024. This was green. Wanted to know about the “air bleed valve” that the type 2 coolant says to open.
How do I know how much coolant I should be adding?
you should also unscrew bleeding vent screw in the engine block while draining and filling the system to propper bleed the system.
I think flushing the system is worth the extra time, with distilled water. But this video's process will get most of the old coolant out.
Really good tutorial. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
How about a video on replacing the front bumper/headlight assembly on a 2016 Honda HR-V?
how often should you change coolant on 07-11 Honda CRV?

@@erik162000 Thank you!!
1aauto rocks you guys are the beeeeest
+drumskas Thanks for the great feedback!
the coolant is supposed to be blue
great video, but your HONDA suppose to be "BLUE".
Green can be used just as long as everything was flushed out properly.

if i use my scan to check on thermostat what is the degress or farenheit to know if the thermostat is working?

Wait until cooling fan turns on, thermostat open, but how do i know when the radiator is fully bled? No more air bubbles? Check the hose temps?

In South East Asia where the weather is all year HOT. Owners should use 5w30 instead of 0w20.
My crv ac works cold but no heat comes out what could it be?
Only use Honda type 2 blue coolant! Everything else was on point though 👍🏼
Thanks for heads up
What about draining coolant from the "block"? Is that additional step necessary?
Definitely not. Not unless your coolant was heavily contaminated
How much coolant did you use?
Can remember exactly but like 5.6 L for my crv 08
Same question here
@@TheKaduzin On a 2010 model.....I removed 5.5 quarts.....if that helps
I thought there was more to getting air from the system
Will this be the same for a 2013 Honda CR-V?
+nottix We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task.
Good job
