finally i changed all the fluids on my S my self.:overhere:


ived done everything except the coolant and brake fluid. so i decided to do it.

I read thru your Hows to on the brake fulid but i did Front left>Front right>Rear left>Rear right. I thought i was doing it right untill i came back to read your post. Is this ok for the brake system?(no harm?)

for the coolant... i was dumb to open the Drain plug on the engine and could not put it back tight enough.(learn my lesson barly any fluids came out of it) but got the Blue coolant in and took out the Green old one.

Your order for the brake fluid will be fine. I think people get too obsessed over the exact order. I think if you do the front, since they are the closest to the master cylinder, then the rears, it doesn't really matter the exact order. Some types of cars will have you start at the corner that is furthest away. Go figure. :think:
Do you mean the big plug on the right side of the engine block near the exhaust manifold? That's where Honda would install the block heater for those who live in the frozen north. That's a real tough one to get at, so I opted to not use it, favoring taking off one end of the oil cooler hose instead. That does the same trick. Next time, you'll know. Keep an eye on that plug in case it works itself loose. It takes a fairly large torque to cinch it down. I think it's in the neighborhood of around 60 lb/ft.

The best time to remove the block drain is when the oil filter is removed. The you can see it. Otherwise I have used a six point deep well half inch socket with a short extension. However as I said above it's much easier with the filter removed.
