The Lisle no-spill funnel comes with a plug that is inserted into the funnel with the extra coolant. You remove the plugged funnel and either pour some into the reservoir or somewhere else (re-use or dispose of).

Honda used to put a nipple on top of the t-stat housing just for this type of thing, you loosen it and fill the system and then bleed it until the bubbles stop coming out. based upon the current parts diagram, it still looks like it is there....

There is no bleed bolt (nipple) for 7th, 8th, and 9th generation Accords.

Yeah, beginning 2003 with the K-series engine the thermostat was moved to a lower elevation on the front of the engine.

This past weekend I noticed that the overflow jug coolant level had dropped slightly, so I topped it off. The temperature gauge is stable when the engine is fully warm. I tried looking for the radiator fan switch. I can't see it from the top nor the bottom. Maybe some part has to be removed to view it. Since everything is going fine, I'll let it go for now. Thanks everybody (specially Redbull) for guiding me through.

Post #17 Redbull has a photo of the fan switch at the bottom of the radiator.

I think there's a plastic splash-shield underneath the radiator/bumper that is removed for the photo. You are underneath the car, looking up at the underside / backside of the radiator towards the left side of the car.
