Ill start by saying that a little more than a year ago, I didn't even know how to change oil by myself. Im happy to say that will help from BITOG and other auto forums I have the confidence to do most maintenance items DIY, such as fluids, filters etc. This process was very easy even for a first timer like me. I put the car on ramps, then cracked the rad cap and pulled the plug and let all the coolant drain which took about 10 minutes before turning from a stream to a drip. I put the plug back in the filled it up with Honda Genuine Type 2 coolant (the blue stuff). It took a little over 1 gallon to fill up. Then I started the car and let it idle for a minute, shut off then rechecked level...it was still full so I put the cap on to the first "click" then started it and let it run until the fans came on twice. This took about 15 minutes of idling (I didnt like that part). While waiting I would take the cap of and top off the rad to the top off the fill neck. Once the cooling fans came on twice, I topped off the rad and the reservoir. Then since the coolant dribbled down the radiator and splashed and got on the paint, I washed the engine bay, then washed the car. All in all I'm happy with myself, I plan on changing the coolant every 3 years. Its so easy and it cost maybe $40 max.
