I was talking with a friend and he told me i should have my coolent flushed? my car currently has 50k miles on it, anyone know when i should of had this done? and how do you do it? and he also said i should put a solution that would clean it, any ideas where i could buy this? thanks alot, i love honda tech a very helpful site

 

thanks for kissing my ***. lol. flushing only means draining it all out. theres a valve thing on the bottom of the radiator, undo it and let it **** in a bucket. then close it and fill back up 50/50 green coolant and water, and add some cleaner from tyhe parts store like advance auto. etc.

 

lol jk
thanks alot man and you have any idea of the name of the cleaner?

 

ask them for coolant system cleaner

 

thanks alot man

 

If ya' just change it regularly, there shouldn't be any need for a cleaner. You should be OK at only 50k without using a cleaner. I changed mine at like 60k when I did a timing belt and it 'looked' brand new.

 

i actually change mine every 30k miles, i would also add redline water wetter, or purple ice from royal purple, those keep your sytem cooler.
you can find those at most auto parts stores

 

A cheaper alternative to using the Redline or Royal Purple products is to use a dab of liquid hand soap.
