1. Pour the coolant over the MAX mark as shown in the illustration to fill the engine with the coolant. NOTE: Always use Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (P/N OL999-9001). Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail. Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Do not add water.
   Engine Coolant Capacities (Including the expansion tank capacity of 0.9 L (0.24 US gal, 0.20 Imp gal))

Make sure to warm up the engine to bleed the remaining air in the engine block. |
