how do you change the radiator fluid on 4th gens?
do you just pull out a hose most likely the lower one and let it drain into a bucket of some sort?
that fluid in the car hasn't been changed for 3 years or so

Like just about every radiator out there has a drain plug at the bottom of them.
On some 4th gen accords there may be a skid plate you need to remove to get to it.

There is a small drain plug at the bottom of the radiator and just untwist it. Its very easy to do like the guy said there might be a plastic skid guard thing in the way just move it and then you are set. Good luck.

yep, there's some plastic underbody stuff that comes off with a 10mm socket and 5 minutes, then untwist the thing on the bottom of the radiatior and remove your cap. be sure to let the excess fluid flow into any nearby rivers or streams. KIDDING!!!!

You are supposed to do half water and half coolant. I don't know how many liters and everything but I do know that. Also you might have to bleed the system afterwards to get the air out of the hoses not sure though...

don't forget to account for the water in the block if you flushed it. There is a plug on the block somewhere to drain rest of coolant. But if you flushed it with water first account for that when mixing up new coolant w/ water.
