Follow the chart and pour coolant into the radiator up to the base of
the filler neck.
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
|
Use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2, and if
necessary add Honda Extreme Cold Weather Antifreeze/Coolant
Type 2 (concentrate). Using a non-Honda coolant can result
in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction
or fail.
|
|
|
|
Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture
of 50 % antifreeze and 50 % water. Honda Extreme Cold Weather
Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a 100 % concentration coolant.
Do not add water to either coolant.
|
|
|
|
If the vehicle is regularly driven in very low temperatures
(below -22 °F ( -30 °C)), a 60 % concentration of coolant
should be used.
