Raidiator Flush

[THonda]

I thought maybe it was time to flush the raidiator on my '04 Pilot @ 60k mi but was wondering if anyone has done this before? On other cars, I use/used the Prestone raidiator flush kit to flush out the entire coolant system and not just the raidiator. Has anyone had experience in using this on the Pilot? Any advise with/without pics would be appreciated.

Isn't the Pilot one of those cars where the coolant changes occur at 100K? Well, if you plan to do it now, I would stick with coolant that is safe for aluminum engines. Just buy the stuff from the $tealer and you'll be safe.

The Pilot might be one where you don't have to change it until 100k. If so, I'll wait. I'll check the maint schedule in the manual. But according to the Honda maint schedule booklet I got from the dealer, they have raidiator flush as one of the items when you hit 60k.

The Pilot is one where you change it out at 100K. Is it the Honda maint. schedule booklet supplied by American Honda or was it supplied by the dealer? If it is the latter then it's just the dealer looking for a way to make your wallet lighter.
