draining/flushing of radiator water/coolant

[MasterZerg]

-gusto ko sana pa drain ung water/coolant sa radiator ko... mga magkano usually service non?lalagyan ko lang ng water/coolant ulit kasi nagka leak ung isang host ko.halos water na lang and wala na masyadong halong coolant kasi.pero ngayon i was able to manage fixing the host and tighten it... i also replaced the radiator cap kasi may singaw na... thanks in advance

Pwedeng ma DIY yan bro. Just remove the drain plug sa bottom ng radiator until maubos, then once ubos na, tighten and fill half of the tank with distilled water and the remaining half with coolant. Di aabot ng P500 petot ang gastos.

Lagyan mo lang ng small catch basin bro.

newbie here,
kailanagn po ba na i drain yun coolant reservoir? kasi yung ginawa ko sa crv ko is nag refill lang ako ng coolant then add water

[mazingerZ]

Well, since you are draining the radiator na, might as well drain the reservoir na lang din. Detachable naman ang reservoir.

You can do it in open space, di naman sing messy ng oil change yan.

Luwagan mo yung drain plug, yaan mong tumapon habang may continuous supply ng tap water hanggang luminaw. Then paandarin mo for a few minutes para mailabas pati yung nasa block. Pag malinaw na drain it totally before putting the new mixture. Pure distilled water plus coolant.

ahm sir, magtatanong din po sana ako kung paano ko malalaman kung totally drained-out na ung nasa block kung paaandarin ko ung makina?? kapag ung temperature po ba nya eh malapit na sa H eh dun ko na po ba xa papatayin??

tsaka ung coolant na gamit ko eh concentrated at hinahaluan ko na lang ng distilled water. hindi po ba macocorrode agad ung radiator ko at mamumuo ng omido?? nawiwindang kase ako sa mga pinapalinisan ko ng radiator. sabi ni mekaniko 1 eh distilled na lang daw ilagay ko para hindi na magkaroon ng omido. sabi naman ni mekaniko 2 eh dapat daw may coolant para hindi daw nagcocorrode. kaya ginawa ko eh hinal ko na lang para hindi ako malito. magulo po ba?? heh.. pasenxa na po. for my info langpo sana. maraming salamat po..
