what kind of radiator fluid should use in my car?

 

Honda Anti Freeze

 

how would you perform a radiator flush? is there a DIY cause this is something i will need to do..

 

i bought antifreeze from an auto parts store(the green lime one)
to perform a radiator,while the engine is cold,remove the radiator cap,remove the radiator plug(under the car)let it drain,empty the resevoir(bottle next to the rad)
you can put a hose down the rad to flush everything out,put plug back on,bottle back in place,and refill i went with 30water/70antifreeze.

 

it is recommended to use Honda anti-freeze because again, proprietary formula made by Honda. frankly, i don't think it would hurt to use off the store anti-freeze. mix properly and change every two years. this is a DIY. look in your manual to find the radiator plug underneath the front fender.

 

You should use a 50/50 mix and use distilled water. Too high a concentration of coolant will make you run hot

 

Honda coolant is pre-mixed...much easier.

 

ah.. i get the concept.. but i dont know what/where the radiator cap/plug/resevoir is... sorry guys, but i don't know what much about cars. trying my best to learn everything. does someone have pics of steps? or just pics of the ca and plug and resevoir.. ?

btw, i dont have a manual... bought the car w/o one

 

radiator is in between the headlights it has aa aluminium cap,the reservoir is on the right side in front of the battery,withe bottle wich should contain lime or pink fluid. before you remove the radiator cap MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS COOL cause the fuid can splash on your face and burn you if the engine is too hot.

 

where is the radiator plug to drain it?

 

at the bottom of the radiator.

 

do you have to remove the bumper cover to access the drain plug? im looking at it right now and i seems to be covered by a sheet of plasticf under the front end of the car

 

n/m, i just found out that theres an opening for the drain plug in the plastic covering
