Coolant System Serving Question...

I want to do a coolant flush and refill just because to my knowledge It hasn't been done since I have owned the car. But I have a few quick questions.

After flushing, do I fill the Coolant Reservoir( Between MIN and MAX) AND the radiator, or just the reservoir?

Do I really need to use Honda All Season 50/50 Coolant?

And how much coolant(in quarts?) on average will I need to buy to fill it up?

Thanks guys

you need to fill the radiator all the way to the top. then start your car and let it idle for about 2 min so that ur pump circulates radiator fluid. shut the car off and then fill it again and then fill ur reservoir, i would fill it above the min mark and keep it below half. then you are ready to go.

i would check the level again in the radiator after driving a day or something....and also run the heater in ur car too for a while,....this will make sure of removing all the air out of the system.

if u have a 1.7L then i believe it is 4.2L. anyway ur manual should say that.
