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.

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

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.

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

Any gas station can do that, just buy the coolant from their store and let them do the flushing for you then just give some tip to the mechanic or whoever did it.

reminder lang coolant is very poisonus. dont let it go to the sewer or creek. keep it away from kids and pets.

Alam ko puwedeng DIY ang flushing ng radiator. kaso, di yata lahat ng coolant ay environment friendly. Kung hindi, better na lasng duon sa may capability na mag dispose ng mga ito.
