7. Remove, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fill the tank halfway to the MAX mark with water, then up to the MAX mark with antifreeze.
8. Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
-
Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
-
For best corrosion protection, the coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at 50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection against corrosion or freezing.
-
Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
-
Do not mix different brands of antifreeze/coolants.
-
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or anti-rust products; they may not be compatible with the coolant.
Engine Coolant Refill Capacity [including reservoir (0.4 (0.42 US quart. 0.35 Imp quart))].

11. Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed.
12. Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
