I have a 2009 Honda Civic and I’m preparing to do the 100,000 mile tune up, which includes a coolant change. According to Honda, flushes are not recommended for their coolant systems. Even at the dealership, they just drain and refill.
The repair manual says to drain the system in two places (radiator plug, and the bolt on the cylinder head). The question I have deals with the amount of coolant to add. Below are the capacities. Which one do I go by?
A/T with heater: engine overhaul 7.1 L (1.88 US gal, 1.56 Imp gal)
A/T with heater: coolant change 5.5 L (1.45 US gal, 1.21 Imp gal)Is this considered a coolant change or an engine overhaul?
Thanks,
Matt
