This was a very helpful video. I just did mine and it went exactly to plan. I wanted to try doing it without jacking up the car which made the finding the petcock valve the hardest part. I took out just a shade under one gallon and it took just over a gallon to refill the radiator and reservoir. That spill-free funnel was great and the syringe idea made emptying the reservoir a breeze. I think I pulled about 700mL out in total....maybe more. The adapter on the funnel took a little work to fully seat, but once on, I didn't spill a drop. Thank you for keeping this short and to the point.
I find your tutorial videos quite helpful and saved me a lot of money. Your CV axle replacement video was a MAJOR help! Thank you!!! Just finished the CV axle yesterday, will do coolant and oil change today.
Do you do automatic transmission fluid change too? I just found out I should have been doing that too. Just turned 142K on my 11 odyssey. I pray it will still run after all the new stuff Lol!
I love your video it was very easy to understand the steps. The only thing is that you don't need to use the manufacturer's coolant. That's what all manufacturers say when it comes to their cars. As long its the right color coolant you can use a third party like Peak
@@MrRangerZr1 Don’t get me wrong. It’s never a wrong choice to just go for the OEM coolant. Just saying that third party’s work just fine. Been using third party stuff for years and engine has performed great
@@yashshah6328 I did look at some aftermarket fluid options in the past, the cost difference isn't huge. I just stick to OE fluids. For my vans, I gotta use special aftermarket fluids because I beat the snot out of them. Lol
Just one question....what would we do without your advice n knowledge?ive watched your videos n thats how i changed the injectors,valve cover gaskets exhaust gaskets replaced a bad spark plug with the rubber connector attached to the spark plug n i pulled it out with one of my old tattoo needles because no screw driver or knives were able to fit since the spark plug was right on center in the back area n there is limited space to work on but finally i was able to stab the rubberish material n pulled it out to find oil in there i cleaned that i replace spark plug round gaskets n cleaned every connectors i disconnected n my wife was able to change oil and oil filter n reinstalling serpentine belt all by herself...all i can say is: thanks to your knowledge my wife's van its back on the road n shes a happy wife much appreciation to you now I'm fixing to flush coolant n get this 2011 oddyssey on optimal conditions all thanks to you
@@MrRangerZr1 sir thanks to you now im still having a check engine light n they telling me it could be the 4th cylinder misfiring...any suggestions on that MrRanger?
My petcock valve is flush against the framing underneath it. Yours in this video is protruding with plenty of clearance to turn. How delicate is that valve, if I pry the bottom of the radiator up a little to gets some clearance?
One question I have is the car comes up to opp temp but my fans don’t come on unless a/c is on. As far as I can tell, everything else seems good. Any insight with the fans?
That's how it is, the fans are ECU controlled. When the coolant reaches somewhere around 200F with the ac off, the fans will kick on. A/C on, the fans will be on most of the time.
I've looked at a half-dozen videos about draining the Honda Odyssey (mine is a 2007) and when I look under my car - it looks different than all the others. Even all the videos that claim to be for the 2005 - 2017 look different underneath. Am I supposed to remove all the plastic shielding before being able to find the white screw in stopper or the screw in bolt? I've crawled all over and just cannot find that damn white plug.
I finally found it. I had to raise my head up higher. Now the problem is that I can only see the top third of the white screw-in plug. All that plastic splash shielding keeps me from getting my head up higher or getting my hand to the plug. I can see one "fin" on the plug and can get long-nose pliers on it but I'm afraid to twist it too hard for breaking the fin off. In the Spring, I'll have to remove all that splash shielding to get access to the drain plug. Then, I'll drain both plugs and put in all new antifreeze.
Thank you so much for all your great videos. I just finished my first coolant flush on my 2010 Honda Odyssey EXL. I was able to do everything except for getting the radiator fans ON; no matter how much I tried, the radiator fan did not turn ON even after 30 mins with AC heat turned ON at the MAX setting. The coolant was getting hot in the funnel after 30 mins; I had to turn off the engine, fill the reservoir tank close to the MAX level as I could not get the AC ON. Any advice would be great...TIA.
@@MrRangerZr1 Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it. I noticed that after the transmission fluid drain & flush the car drives really smooth and performance has improved significantly. The old transmission fluid was dark, a bit viscous and had a significant burnt smell. Planning to do the 3X drain & flush with 200 miles in between. Thanks
It took me roughly about 1.25G of Genuine Honda Coolant and about an ounce of refill in the coolant reservoir after all the air was pushed out to bring the coolant level between max & min.
Take a screenshot about 20-21 seconds into video. It right edge of screen shows the radiator drain valve/plug. After placing a tub to catch the old fluid, unscrew the plug 2-3 turns until fluid starts to drain. Does not have to drain quickly just start flowing. Then remove radiator cap to increase flow speed. Gravity makes drainage possible so screw in the drain valve before filling from radiator cap.

I'm doin this since my local dealer is charging me 149.00 thank you for the video
My dealer wants $175.00,nope!
Thank you for the video. I used a 7/8 socket to loosen the plastic drain plug. Worked like a charm.
Thanks this advice helped me 💙😊

For the Hondas, use OEM fluid all around. Honda is like the only company that is picky of it's fluids.

@@MrRangerZr1 Subaru also very picky about coolant as they have a head gasket failure problem
@@mountainjustice They fail even with the best OEM coolant. Its a Subaru thing, not a coolant thing.
Great video. I just done it and it was less than a gallon (like 3 liters).

What have you done so far for the issue?
If this guy can do it with one hand, surely you can do it with two
My petcock valve is flush against the framing underneath it. Yours in this video is protruding with plenty of clearance to turn. How delicate is that valve, if I pry the bottom of the radiator up a little to gets some clearance?
you should have access no matter which van, nothing is blocking it.

Look again. It's there.

@@STBRetired1 Told you it was there lol
Perfect bed dude. Not all that dam talking as if u get paid by the word. Awesome
Isn't there a special procedure for cars equipped with a rear heater core like the Honda Odyssey?
All A/C settings must be set to hot as I shown in the video.
@@MrRangerZr1 Is that with the AC on and temp set to hot? or AC off and temp set to hot. Also should I set the fan speed to max? Thanks again.
What if u use regular coolant, in anycase I couldnt find it?
not recommended at all
Important to use proper coolant, because the anti corrosive chemicals are matched to specific things in your car…like the head gasket etc.
Same bleeding process for 2011 Pilot?
yes
How much coolant do I need?
like 2
Perfect!!! Thank you!!!
Where can i get the coolant tool? Thanks
Link in description.
Thank you so much for all your great videos. I just finished my first coolant flush on my 2010 Honda Odyssey EXL.

It can take a while but if the heater is nice and hot and you checked the coolant level afterwards and it's good, you should be fine.
@@MrRangerZr1 Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it. I noticed that after the transmission fluid drain & flush the car drives really smooth and performance has improved significantly.

Great video thanks!
How often do you flush the coolant for a Honda Odyssey? I read every 30k to once per 100k.
During timing belt/water pump change
Honda just told me 60,000mi
@@pland99 Honda will tell you fairy tales to get more money.
Do you need to drain the coolant from the engine block?
Nah. You'll hear people say that, you don't need to.
I have a 2008 and it doesn't have that white Reservoir so where do I actually put it?
It does. Check behind the radiator.
@@MrRangerZr1 I did lol. The only thing back there is the oil stick and the oil reservoir.
Where is the bleeding process here?
Here: th-cam.com/video/Jjr9dxlUjpM/w-d-xo.html
How much coolant did you need for the refill? Is one gallon usually enough in your experience?
Should be
@@MrRangerZr1 thank you 👍🏼
One gallon wasn't quite enough for my 2006.
It took me roughly about 1.25G of Genuine Honda Coolant and about an ounce of refill in the coolant reservoir after all the air was pushed out to bring the coolant level between max & min.
Honda told me it takes 1.9 gal,yet I got ~3/4 of a gal from radiator,guess block & hoses tying up the rest!
Wow! I need those gadgets!
How coolant drains out of the radiator?
Gravity.
Take a screenshot about 20-21 seconds into video. It right edge of screen shows the radiator drain valve/plug. After placing a tub to catch the old fluid, unscrew the plug 2-3 turns until fluid starts to drain. Does not have to drain quickly just start flowing. Then remove radiator cap to increase flow speed.
Gravity makes drainage possible so screw in the drain valve before filling from radiator cap.
Stupid question: where did you find the syringe for $1?
Dollar store.
Did the fun come on ?
Fan? Yes.
god bless you
What's wrong with it?
Honda dealer would charge you from 400 to 500 Duluth ga. Thanks I will do it.👍
This might be an old video, how many containers you used just for drain and fill?
About one, you might need two.
😎👍
Same process for a 2019 odyssey?
Yes more or less same
