i have a 2008 honda civic ex with a manual transmission. if i drain it will this get all of the fluid out? i bought it used and am not sure what is in there now and don't want to mix it with honda fluid if that is not what is in there. also there is green antifreeze in the system. i want to put honda blue in. if i just do a drain on the radiator will mixing the blue and what is left of the green hurt the car?

 

anti freeze is one of the things where it's not a big deal to not use Honda fluid and to mix and match

best thing to do about transmission fluid is to buy two new 1 gallon jugs and drain the old, put the old in one jug, put new fluid in another jug at the same level and put the new fluid inside and ALWAYS buy Honda transmission fluid

 

Hi

Guys,

I hope one of you will be able to help me.. I have. 2006 Honda Civic 1.8 S MT. 42k km done. We had a flood here last week and my brother was on his way to pick me up from office. Somehow the Crank case got a hole and drained all the oil. Now one connecting rod has broken and it made holes in the bore..not sure if something has happened to engine head and valves. Do you suggest to replace the existing engine and swap it with a used one or send the bore and engine head to lathe for rebore. If we rebore the engine will it affect the longevity of the engine? What are the disadvantages of engine rebore for a Honda civic?. Any help will be appreciated..

 

there are jdm r18 engines all over ebay, just have a reputable shop swap one in
