How do you change antifreeze on an 2003 Accura MDX?

Answer 1

Changing antifreeze regularly is a vital part of preventative maintenance and keeps vehicles performing at optimal levels. To avoid engine problems, including freeze-ups and overheating, the experts at COMMA CAR CARE PRODUCTS offer these easy steps to help make the annual antifreeze flush and fill a safe, uncomplicated do-it-yourself project. 1. Park your car in a safe area. Make sure pets are secured safely and no children are in the area. Be sure to check your owner's manual for any special cooling system service instructions. Begin with the engine cold and the ignition off. If you change coolant when the engine is hot, you risk burns from the hot coolant and engine. 2. Drain your radiator to remove loose rust and sediment. Open the radiator drain valve and drain the used antifreeze/coolant into a bucket large enough to catch the flow (typically, a two-gallon bucket is sufficient). Close the drain valve. 3. Dispose of the used antifreeze/coolant according to local laws and regulations. Be sure to label the disposed container clearly as "used antifreeze" and secure with a childproof cap. Don't use containers from beverages to store used antifreeze. Keep the container stored securely away from children and animals until you can dispose of or recycle the used coolant safely.
