Draining/filling coolant
So, I am doing some maintenence on my 94 Accord. Thanks guys on helping me with my tranny fluid question the other day. But now I need to do my coolant.
I was quoted $95 for a flush and fill, I thought that was an okay price, until my neighbor taught me how to do it myself. I'm thinking that there must be more to it than what I was told, why else would a place charge almost 100 bucks for what would cost me the cost of fluid alone and a tad of labor?
Here is what my neighbor told me to do:
Drain fluid in radiator
Unplug coil
Crank car a couple times to drain the rest of the fluid
Fill radiator
Hook coil back up
Run the car for a minute to let the thermo tell the radiator to let the fluid into the engine
Fill the radiator again
And then it's done. Is this right? I know it's not a complete flush, but it's so simple I could do it in 15 minutes or less.
