    I have a 2014 accord with 158k miles on it and I haven’t done a coolant replacement since buying the car at 77k miles. Is it still recommended I drain and fill the coolant myself or take it in to get professionally serviced?

    • @FlyBeee

      Thats awesome with 158K miles. Mine is still under 150K as of today. About your Q: Fresh fluids are good for the vehicle, and Coolant change is just drain-fill. the only concern is whether drain valve is easy to open considering it has not been opened in a while. May be you can try to loosen it before buying the coolant. If you live in an area that has a few Honda dealers, check their website for 'parts specials', a few in my area have spring specials so you may be able to get coolant at discount. However, if you feel uneasy doing the work especially with the plastic drain valve then a service place can do this. Best wishes

    Important note - honda accord requires 2 gallons of coolant but you can only get one out by removing the white plug. The rest of the coolant is in the block and you wont be able to get to it without removing hoses. No need. Just take 1 gallon out, add 1 new gallon, and repeat after 25k miles. You'll mix old and new coolant and eventually get all new mixture.

    Great video! Just a question if you don’t mind. When you’re running the engine with the radiator cap open to purge out the air, does the coolant not spill out?

    • @FlyBeee
      @FlyBeee  3 месяца назад

      If the coolant is filled much then it will overflow when waiting for the air to purge. If this happens remove the excess or put a rag around to catch the overflow. the tick in filling in new coolant is to not fill all the way up until the very end.

    Hi Fly Bee, how many miles when you first performed coolant drain/flush ?

    • @FlyBeee
      @FlyBeee  4 года назад +1

      Hi Paul, I did this first one around 90K miles. The owners manual says the first coolant change is due around 120K miles provided the car still has factory filled coolant. Then every 60K miles. when I did this drain/fill, the summer (in south) was about to start so figured I should do one sooner and 90K seemed like a good mid point. Personally, I think fluid changes are just super low cost way to maintain a vehicle. I hope this info helps.

    My radiator hose on the bottom is cold after changing coolant and radiator fan dont turn on after 1hr. Temperature is slightly below half normal operating temperature. Any suggestions why?

    • @FlyBeee
      @FlyBeee  Месяц назад

      A lower engine temperature after coolant change is a good thing, means the new fluid is doing its job. With use of vehicle the radiator fan should run, you can power on AC to see if it does work.

    • @johnregal5098
      @johnregal5098 Месяц назад

      Need to rrev up the engine to 1500+ rpm to get the cooling fans to kick on at least twice, meaning the thermostat has opened and is cycling the coolant through the engine. You could also take it for a quick trip around the block or two till operating temp is achieved. Then let it cool before topping it off.

      The Honda coolant comes ready to use. No need to add distilled water. Just pour the coolant directly into the radiator and you are good to go. For regular flush like I did you likely would use only 1 gallon. Good luck.

      @FlyBeee  2 года назад +3

      Coolant / antifreeze degrade over time based on mileage and time. Your Accord has had it for 8 years and I would recommend to do simple drain & fill of coolant like you see in this video. You will likely need only 1 gallon and sometimes local Honda store may have it on sale for under $20. If not already done, please also look into replacing the brake fluid which is recommended to be replaced at 3 years or 36K miles, and also the transmission fluid. Good luck!

      It is partial replacement for sure - however drain & fill is the method recommended by Honda to allow new fluid to blend with old which has its benefits vs. a 'flush'. You can do a additional drain & fills to gradually replace all fluid in the vehicle.

      @Fly Bee the next thing I’m doing is cleaning the intake valve with CLR or sea foam since this car is direct injection so there will be a lot of carbon build up where normal fuel injector cleaner through the fuel tank will not work. Also I read somewhere that if that you disconnect the abs module and put some electric cleaner in the plug and let it dry and replug it then the light might come off but I still can’t find a video on how to do that. My guess is the ABS but that is the last thing I will do. I’m not a good mechanic so all the stuff I’m doing is from research as I do not want to pay Honda $1600-$2200 to replace an ABS module to get these light off. I can still drive it like normal though as it’s been almost 5 months now with the light on. I will try everything I can before I go to the stealership. There is also a box for the electric steering near by the cabin air filter that may have gotten moisture in it that need to dry or replace that may turn the lights off if replace at least that is what some RUclips video claim but no good video on how to replace that either. I need someone to show me a video on how to unplug the abs module and clean the plug with electric cleaner. I believe that is the solution short of replacing the whole thing. People also say it’s the Abs sensor on the wheel but pretty much everyone they say that took it to a dealership which I don’t trust. I think it’s just cleaning the plug on the ABS. I could be wrong but that is my theory but I hope it will go away after I clean the intake valve since changing spark plugs receive some positive result. It just doesn’t stay off all the time. 157 k miles now without cleaning the engine as this is my first car wit Direct injection so I’m definitely overdue.

    Does it have to be Honda coolant? Will any other brand coolant work ? I'm at 45K miles. Thinking about flushing the system

    • @FlyBeee
      @FlyBeee  4 года назад +5

      It doesn't have to be Honda fluid but I would highly recommend to use genuine Honda coolant which we know is best fit for the Honda vehicle and will keep the radiator rust free. There isn't much price difference in aftermarket vs. Honda coolant. Aftermarket is about $12 and Honda OEM is $20 - but often the local honda dealer has a coupon listed on their website for 10% - 205% off on parts so this would bring your price down to about $15... still a few $ expensive vs aftermarket but it is the best product for Honda vehicle and you are already going to save tons of money by doing this yourself so hopefully a few $ more is okay. I have found that Sep/Oct and then Jan/Feb is usually when Honda Service & parts is slow so they offer coupons and discounts. If you can plan your regular maintenance work you will save even more money!! At 45K miles please also look at the Transmission fluid change. I have a video about this and please also review details in description. I hope these help. Best of luck!

      it has to be boron/silicone free..so you can use other brands as long as you check that to make sure there isnt a incompatible chemical reaction causing rust. Easier to just go OEM and not worry about if it has the wrong additives or extra chemicals..etc. Also, rust and corrosion can cause leaks and you will have thousand $$$ damages...to save a few bucks. Just go to the dealer pick up the blue stuff. Easy , peasy, not complicated, done deal.

    • @FlyBeee
      @FlyBeee  3 года назад +3

      If you are short a cup or two and want to use old coolant, sure - it won't hurt because a drain and fill only removes half the coolant and other half (dirty) one is still there, a cup more won't hurt it. But don't fill the radiator completely with the same old coolant because it defeats the purpose of coolant replacement. Coolant degrades over time therefore needs to be replaced. At $20 per gallon MSRP or $40 for two gallons price at 100K mile is a relatively small price to pay to keep cooling system and engine in good shape. and it takes only 10 mins to replace with simple drain & fill. I hope this info helps.

      Refill the radiator until it is full (to the top) and then fill the coolant reservoir. You will need a little over one gallon (jug) of coolant. Buy two just to be on the safe side. If you buy at local Honda dealer's parts store and don't use the second gallon then return the unused coolant.
