Coolant flush 2000 CRV, Tips ?
I bought a 2000 CRV for my daughter and want to change the coolant.
What's the best way to do it? Where is the drain plug? I hope it's easier to do than it is to change the oil filter in the damn thing. |
Re: Coolant flush 2000 CRV, Tips ?
The draincock should be on the bottom of the radiator. You will need to
remove the resevoir/recovery tank and drain it by hand.

Have her download the owner's manual for free via https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp (see "owner's manuals" link on left); and follow the directions for replacing the coolant on pages 203-205. :-) If she has trouble navigating the pdf file with the owner's manual, post back. The whole manual truly is there. Ya just gotta be smarter than Bill Gates to get it. Aside: Love that link to the owner's manuals, Mr. Tegger!) > Where is the drain plug?

It's on the front of the block close to the tranny. (It's the block heater hole too). http://www.hondasuv.com/pdf/crv/firs...lockheater.pdf These others will walk you through a bunch of discussion about CR-V coolant changes. http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopi...=drain+coolant http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopi...=drain+coolant http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopi...=drain+coolant This one will tell you why she probably needs a valve adjustment on her first generation CR-V: http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopi...t=burnt+valves 'Curly' |
