Does the Legend have a block drain like the one on my Integra? That Integra front block drain allows me to do a complete drain, flush, and refill in 30 minutes and I don't get dirty or wet. I cannot find any reference to a block drain.

Anyone?

Sorry I'm a noob to Honda's/Acura's, been with GM's forever. But, do these cars just use the green coolant, or there there a special coolant that has to be used?

Honda coolant only. "Honda Type II Coolant" is sold at the dealers and is blue.

For step #7, your fan might not come on twice for the warmup process. I did this a couple of months ago and the car warmed up because the temp gauge was where it needed to be but the fans never kicked on. I thought something might be wrong. The fluid started boiling over as pressure was building up and I was losing fluid all over the place. I'm sure they would have come on eventually but I was sick of losing precious antifreeze so I put the cap back on and checked later to make sure radiator was full. Everything is good now and I've realized that the fans don't come on unless the engine is mucho caliente! Good luck.
