[QUOTE=wright_now,Mar 22 2009, 02:17 AM] Well I too am thinking of getting a flush. I was looking at my coolant reservoir and it was low. I was like ok I

 

dumb comment...if you don't flush the coolant, you'll leave alot of dirty fluid in the system

on a side note, how difficult is it to remove the thermostat with these cars?

 

Do anyone know how much honda will charge you for a coolant flush. Im at 51xxx miles and i feel like im in need of a flush on my ap1. anyone chim in...

 

Those of you flushing, does that mean you guys are letting the coolant into your cities draining system? That's kinds messed up IMO.

 

My teacher at uti told us we could run CLR through the block to clean it. Flush that out with distilled water and put the recommended antifreeze back in.
I haven't tried it, he says he has, hes actually ran the car with it in the cooling system for a couple days to really make sure it cleaned the system.
Idk if ill ever do it, but its something to research and possibly do?
That is if you really want to flush the system that bad.
and another thing, my car almost has 100k miles and my cooling system works phenomenal, my operating temp is consistently normal and my fans barely, barely, barely turn on. I think ive herd it turn on 4 times this whole summer and that was in stand still traffic.
