Adding Engine Coolant

EXPANSION TANK
MAX LINE MIN LINE
If the coolant level in the expansion
tank is at or below the MIN line, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX line.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
The coolant you add should always
be a mixture of 50 percent antifreeze
and 50 percent water. Never add
straight antifreeze or plain water.
Always use genuine Honda All
Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
This coolant is pre-mixed with 50
percent antifreeze and 50 percent
water. It does not require any
additional mixing. The cooling
system contains many aluminum
components that can corrode if an
improper antifreeze is used. Some
antifreeze, even though labeled as
safe for aluminum parts, may not
provide adequate protection.

Cooling System (Diesel models)

Removing the expansion
tank cap while the engine is
hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding
you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the expansion tank
cap.
