2017-2022 Honda CR-V - Coolant Flush (Drain & Fill) 

You’re welcome.

$25 each...or for two?

Thank you for the detailed explanation - very helpful!

You’re welcome. How many miles is on your CR-V? If it’s under 100,000, you can simply add coolant rather than doing the drain and fill. Reply with any questions. I’m glad to help.

Dealers are rip off

You’re welcome

You’re welcome

It is reliable and fun to drive. I also had the thumb push button replaced on my gear shifter when it was only about a year old. It was free covered by a service bulletin or warranty, I can’t remember.

@@PaulNaylor3 same here. Just the button. It’s been trouble free since then

The top cap? Push down while turning counterclockwise.

You’re welcome!

100,000 miles is about 161,000 km and 1 gallon is 3.8 L. You add the coolant when the car is still off until it gets to the full line. Then you start the car and air bubbles will come out and it may settle a little. You do not need the funnel in the video as it did not work for this car. You could use any funnel. Once you drive the car for a while I would recommend re-checking the coolant level as some trapped air will find its way out over time and you may need to add a little more coolant after driving it.

I did not see how do you remove the bubbles by filling up the funnel and run the engine?

Does honda dealer did same procedure?

@@edmon179 it’s not that I am doing anything particular to remove the bubbles. They just happen naturally as the car runs and air escapes.

@@edmon179 I cannot comment on how a Honda dealer would do this job but I would believe it has to be similar to how it’s done in this video with the exception that the funnel that I attempted to use obviously didn’t work for this purpose.

2017 EX-L AWD. Is yours an LX? If it is that may be the difference.

Mine is 2017 EX FWD. I can access the petcock from the top if I remove the air box. Very poor design. Your video makes it look easy, but mine is not the case.@@PaulNaylor3

@@TrekSLDuraAce I service Hondas its the same from 2017 to the 2022/23 last of the mk5 line on these 1.5t no difference because of standard spec unless the previous owner added some body modifications to the lower bumper and under tray also the coolant on these can last up to 100k miles on standard driving Honda wont tell you that because they make money on fluid changes its easy money to them, Honda type 2 fluid is extended life fluid that's why its so expensive but its good stuff better than non branded crap that promises much but never delivers.

I recommend having 2 gallons on hand because it takes a little bit more than one gallon. I would estimate it will take 5 L.

@@PaulNaylor3 thank you

You’re welcome!

Guys an idea where is the engine coolant drain bolt located?

@lifenz1 I point it out in the video.

Flush & drain are often used interchangeably. So it’s a drain & fill.

A flush is actually running water through the system ( with the drain valve opened ).

Lots of opinions out there. You can test it for $4 with this tester: amzn.to/3zOdCJk

@@PaulNaylor3 wasn’t trying to be rude, just think the dealer is trying too pull a fast one😎

I understand
