freeze/Coolant Type 2. This coolant

is pre-mixed with 50 percent

antifreeze and 50 percent distilled

water. Never add straight antifreeze

or plain water.

If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not

available, you may use another

major-brand non-silicate coolant as a

temporary replacement. Make sure it

is a high-quality coolant

recommended for aluminum engines.

Continued use of any non-Honda

causing the cooling system to

removing the radiator cap.
