I have about 71,000 miles on my car and I am going to flush and change the coolant this weekend. I am using the Honda factory coolan (the blue premixed stuff). I have changed the coolant on a Honda Civic 03 before and I am wondering if the process is the same? Basically, do I:
1.) run the car till its warm with the heater on
2.) let it cool down and drain from radiator and block
3.) fill up with distilled water
4.) run till its warm with heater on
5.) drain again
6.) fill up with honda coolant
7.) burb the system (run without radiator cap till it stops bubbling)with heater on
8.) drink beer
For the engine block, do I need to put any thread sealer on it? Any information would be helpful.
Much appreciated!
