ok, now I continue with my maintenance! Any tricks to changing the anti-freeze? Where is the best place to drain it from? Just pull a hose from the bottom of the radiator, or is there a drain plug on the block?

As for brakes, when have you guys changed the brake fluid--time and mileage please. Also DOT 3 or 4?

Thanks gentlemen!

acura recommends brake fluid every 3 years regardless of miles. Coolant change when the maintenance minder indicates. Has anyone seen the 5 code yet? If so about what mileage?

was at dealer today for service, Coolant is usually replaced at 100k timing belt service, no need to replace before that.

DOT 3 is the recommended brake fluid. From the manual

Replace the brake fluid every 3 years,
independent of mileage.

Always use Honda Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not
available, you should use only DOT 3
or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed
container, as a temporary
replacement.

Using any non-Honda brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life
of the system. Have the brake
system flushed and refilled with
Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
DOT 3 as soon as possible.

Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your vehicle’s
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.
