Change Coolant

[strongfox]

good day!

Sir/ma'am baka meron pede magturo kung paano ko drain yung both engine at radiator para magpalit ng new coolant. Kasi worry ko pag radiator lang drain may remaining water pa sa engine hahalo lng sya sa bagong lagay na coolant. Gusto ko sana bago lahat para fresh.

tapos mag kano po ba yung coolant ng honda?

maraming salamat.....

this might help...

things you will need:
-radiator flush (can be bought sa mga ACE hardware / handyman or suking auto supply)
-distilled dringking water (make sure DISTILLED not MINERAL)
-radiator coolant
-fishball and ice tea

procedures:
1. palamigin muna ang oto para hinde mainit na tubig ang lalabas at para hinde rin mapaso.
2. remove drain plug located at the bottom of the radiator (usually in the middle part). usually napipihit lang ng kamay to. pag na drain na yun, lalabas na lahat ng tubig including sa engine. gravity tells us na pinaka mababang part yung bottom ng radiator so eventually lahat ng tubig lalabas.
3. radiator flush - read carefully directions ng radiator flush na nabili, usually 50% distilled drinking water 50% radiator flush. pero it depends. basahing maigi ang instructions. pag napuno mo na ng radiator flush + distilled water and radiator, start the engine until normal operating temp. onting rev rev para umikot talaga ang tubig and flush around pathways.
4. turn off engine and let it cool again. tapos drain mo ulit... makikita mo ang mga residue at onting kalawang na lalabas.
5. final step - fill it up with your coolant. again, read instructions if how many parts coolant and water combination.

Happy DIY!

as per coolant ng honda, i dont have an idea kung magkano sa casa, but for me aftermarket coolant works best.

no need for radiator flush kung wala naman leak or contamination, or no need talaga

but yung merienda, SOP yun

[mikhailer]

hehe SOP talaga ang mirienda... not to offend you sir pero as per regular maintenance ng coolant according sa manual kelangan ng radiator flush just to make sure. and besides ang tanong ng TS is how to totally drain water from the engine and radiator para siguro makampante sya... just my opinion

opinion accepted....

but but but sige na nga...

kung wala naman leak or contamination, no need. afaik at imho

[meledson]

kung pure coolant lang ang na drain, malamang, you do not need the flush. kung may contamination, then maybe. depende sa lalabas. pero kung may katagalan na ang huling palit ng coolant, also maybe

Ang maganda sa Honda coolant wala ka nang hahaluin. Diretsong salin lang.

I'm using Shell Coolguard OAT for now - this comes in the orange-labeled bottle. Okey naman.

maraming salamat.....

the radiator has a drain plug or petcock, so is the engine block has a drain plug on the side of the engine block if you need to drain the sludge in the water jackets of the engine

[strongfox]

thanks mga boss, subukan ko lang po mga advise nyo...I hope ma locate ko yung suggestion ni sir jick yung beside engine block para completely drain yung water ng engine.

maraming salamat...

After draining the coolant is it a good idea to run water into the radiator from tap to clean it out? Tipong hangang clear water na lumabas mga ilang minutes. At hindi pressurized para hindi madamage radiator. Tapos radiator flush para wala maiwan na dissolved minerals from tap water?

Or instead use blown air from a vacuum para hindi malakas?

Similar ito sa diesel fuel flushing method na ginagawa sa petrol engine oil change. when we did this, the engine sounded newly overhauled after. Worked like one too.
