maintenance
Hello,
Owner's manual for my 01 Civic Sedan states engine coolant should first be replaced at 120,000 miles or 120 months. I am not near there yet and one of my relative's who is a mechanic said I should not wait that long to have the coolant changed. I think he is right. Any thoughts on why the owner's manual states coolant need not be changed sooner? I do get the fluid levels checked regularly. Thank you. |

Acids and other contaminants build up. Many newer fluids are more resistant to this, but coolant is too cheap to NOT change it more frequently. |

Thanks. I really don't think they should have printed that in the owner's manual.
