Hello everyone,
I have a radiator pressure tester and I was wonder if I could use it to help with changing the coolant on my 2010 Honda Fit Base Auto?

If so, what would be the best procedure? Thanks for your help. The kit looks like this : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg

Dont put more than about 18-20 lbs of pressure in the system, the factory pressure is 16 ish. Whenever you pressure test a engine take the plugs out, and crank before putting them back in just in case you got water through a head gasket. Prevents hydrolocking the motor.

Cheers

 

So should I just not use the thing at all or should I try pushing the old fluid out with low pressure? If I use it should I fill up the reservoir and apply pressure there with the drain plug open on the radiator?

I haven't done this procedure before, just want to be safe.
