Check the reservoir level with the engine cold and investigate repeated coolant loss. Coolant type and replacement procedure matter as much as capacity.

Configuration-specific service and fitment facts

These sourced values are shared by the specification sheet and the maintenance guides for this exact configuration.

Coolant specification: Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2, premixed 50/50; no additional mixing Verified

Cooling-system precautions: Never open a hot pressurized cooling system. A total-system capacity is not necessarily the amount that drains during a routine change; follow the engine-specific bleeding procedure.
Coolant and refill: Use the premixed coolant without adding water. Let the engine and radiator cool before opening the radiator cap. Numeric refill quantities are held because the body-specific reserve-tank footnotes differ; verify the applicable manual and final level.
