Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding (cont'dl
Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Always use Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant.
Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corro-s\on, ca

o. fail.
For best corrosion protection, the coolant con-
centration must be maintained year-round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection against
corrosion or freezing. Coolant concentrationsgreater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency
and are not recommended.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or anti-rustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

9. Pour coolant into the radiator uD to the base of the
filler neck. When pouring engine coolant. do not let
coolant spill on any electrical pans or the paint. lf
any coolant spills, rinse it oft immediately.
Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the
radiator fan comes on at least twice).
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly. then run the engine
again and check for leaks.

Cap Testing

2.
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of 93 - 123 kPa (0.95 - 1.25 kgflcm',
14 - 18 psi).
Check for a drop in pressure.
lf the pressure drops, repiace the cap.

Testing
1.Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top oI the filler neck.
Attach the pressure tester to the radiator, and apply
a pressure of 93 - 123 kPa (0.95 - 1,25 kgf/cm', 14 -
18 psi).
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pres-
sure.
Remove the tester, and reinstall the radiator cap.
Check for engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in
the engine oil.

Testing
Replace the thermostat if it is open at room temperature.
To test a closed thermostat:
1. Suspend the thermostat in a container of water. Do
not let the thermometer touch the bottom of the hot
container.
THERMOMETER
THERMOSTAT
Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open.
Measure the lift height of the thermostat when fully
open.
STANDARD THERMOSTAT
Lift height: above 8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Starts opening: 169 - 176'F (76 - 80'C)
