how many gallons or qts of coolant does an R radiator hold? what are some good brands that pep boys or kragen might have()?

 

I was told by the dealer that the tub was enough...not sure how much that is. 4 or 5qt...

B2 - who should change his along with brake fuild

 

ok, we can have a radiator flush meet

4 or 5 quarts of pure coolant? or is that after you mix w/ water? mix 50/50 right?

 

50/50 should be fine. I'd recommend using purified/distilled water if accessable at time. your radiator should take the whole bottle from the auto store. If you don't want to mix, go to honda and get the type 2 coolant that has it mixed in distilled water 50/50 for you to use. You should use honda coolant if you can get it easily enough. have fun alex

cool thanks, thomas

how much is it at Honda? how much do i buy?

 

I just changed my coolant w/ honda type 2 (50/50 premixed) and the car took 5 qts. My coolant ran $27 for 2 gallons. Hope your Honda dealer doesn't rip you off quite as bad.

You will need 2 gallons of the premixed or 1 gallon of the type 1 coolant and 1 gallon of distilled water to mix with it.

good luck.

 

for the distilled water go to your local shoprite or supermarket, its half the price and the same dang quality.

 

you sure u use the whole gallon?

 

y0, riceboi, let me know when your doing this. I need to do mine soon and I can learn from j00

 

yes. total coolant system capacity is approx. 5qts.

I used premixed(type 2), so I needed 2 gallons of the stuff to get the required 5qts.

I used 1 complete gallon and a part of the second.

 

i plan on doing mine this weekend..but call me up when you do yours and i'll help you out(if mine goes smoothly )

thanks guys for the help

 

alex, I can see it now, late night AIM convo, of something that went wrong and you need help

just messing, good luck, let me know if you need some help.

 

haha i have a feeling it's going to rain on me and i'd have to put everything back together again asap

this time, that damn mount is coming out!

 

A step by step with some pics would be nice.

 

What about when you want to flush the coolant from the block also. How much more do you need to add?

 

Do any of you guys use that watrer-wetter stuff? What exactly does it do? Anyone see any improvements after using it?

 

Alright. I'll let you know
