Coolant: Testing and Inspection

Coolant Check





1. Look at the coolant level in the reserve tank. Make sure it is between the MAX mark (A) and MIN mark (B).
2. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is at or below the MIN mark, add coolant to bring it up to the MAX mark, and inspect the cooling system for leaks,
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator, and add Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck, if needed.

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.
