Draining coolant
 

I have searched, but can't find this info. I'm changing the coolant in my '06 Accord Hybrid, and found nothing in the owner's manual about drains, vent screws, etc. I found the drain on the bottom of the radiator (is there more than one?), but is there a bleed screw or screws for bleeding air from the system, and if so, where?

Thanks for any info. This forum is great.

I've always just drained the radiator. This leaves a quart or 2 of old coolant behind. The drain plugs are very difficult to access. I'm not sure where there are on V6.

good luck

For just draining and filling, use the one on the rad.....I'm pretty sure there is one the block as well but that is over kill in my opinion.

Me, when you are draining if you have auto HVAC, turn the heat to max, you will have to start the car so the hvac motor opens the heater valve.

For the re-fill, no there is not a "bleeder". There is a series of starting, hold rpm's at a range for this amount of time, shut it off-check/top off with a few repeats.


EDIT-too slow at typing....TX answered as well :)

Thanks to both of you, just what I needed to know. I had forgotten about the heater valve.
