Coolant Change on 99 Accord V6

[John Smith]

Hi, I am interested in replacing the coolant in my V6 Accord. Can anyone
offer some pointers? I quickly looked for the drain plug on the bottom of
the radiator, and I didn't see any.

Thanks,
Kevin

It's a hard job since it involves draining out all of the old fluid. Even
after you drain the radiator--lots of old fluid is left in heater hoses
and various pipes or lines inside the engine. I once done it and it was a
messy job. I advise you to take it to your Honda dealer or a radiator shop
and have them do the work for you. They have a way of flushing out the old
fluid that is far superior to any system you could use in your driveway.
