Maintenance Under the Hood Engine Coolant
Engine Coolant
Specified coolant: Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
This coolant is premixed with 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any more
antifreeze or water.
We recommend you check the engine coolant level every time you refuel. Check
the reserve tank first. If it is completely empty, also check the coolant level in the
radiator. Add the engine coolant accordingly.
Reserve Tank ■
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve
tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark,
add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
3.
Engine Coolant
If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you
may use another major brand non-silicate coolant
as a temporary replacement. Check that it is a
high quality coolant recommended for aluminum
engines. Continued use of any non-Honda coolant
can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system
to malfunction or fail. Have the cooling system
flushed and refilled with Honda antifreeze/coolant
as soon as possible.
Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to
your vehicle's cooling system. They may not be
compatible with the coolant or with the engine
components.
