P500 P500 coolant drains and burp screw.

My shop manual is in the mail, but I can't wait to change coolant. From searching forums I assume you drain coolant from lower hose by driver side and drain bolt on water pump? Also, is that the burp screw on top of thermostat housing which is in hard to reach area without taking off panels?

Yes and yes if after 2016 model from what I found.

Let us know how it turns out. I need to do mine as well, seems like hondas are difficult to get rid of air in the cooling system. Best of luck!

I got the job done today. No problems except for the burp screw is in an awkward spot. I also didn't replace the copper washers on the bleed screw and the water pump screw. I'll take my chances on a leak. Also, the system drains the most when vehicle is level.

Did you bleed it according to the service manual?
