Question on Radiator connections - Page 2

Might as well do that radiator change while the TB and WP are being done.

Are you gonna have the valves adjusted as well?

Question for the people in this thread, How many gallons of honda coolant am I going to need for the new radiator? Is it just one gallon? I checked in the manual but I couldn't find an answer.

Ive got about 45k miles on a 2006. I just purchased one gallon. Used the gallon of new and if I recall needed a cup or two of the old. Of course had I been closer to the life expectancy of the old fluid then I would have replaced it all. This was just by opening the drain on the bottom of the radiator. I didn't open anything on the engine or water jacket anywhere so I didn't really concern myself with anything remaining in the engine as you would if you wanted to do a complete flush. I actually just purchased it in case i spilled anything significant and then thought to myself why not use all of the new and back fill with old if necessary.

When I drained my radiator and replaced the fluid, it took less than 2 gallons. The specs say 1.64 gallons for a drain and refill.

I strongly suggest you use an appropriate tool to eliminate air in the system:

Any links to the Silla replacement?

Ryan83 · 01-23-2013, 05:48 PM

I purchased mine from Auto Parts Warehouse and I had no issues with their service or delivery but there are various sites you can choose from. The silla radiator for the 06-08 ridgelines is 7370A not sure if its different for later years but the Silla website has a parts finder.

I purchased mine through radiatorexpress.com by calling them. There is a limited lifetime warranty on it, but there is also no guarantee which brand you will receive. You can buy the Silla on Ebay right now for $132 and free shipping.

Anyone know if there is any physical difference from 08 to 09 part # changed from RJE to RN0
