your honda uses the long life coolant. it's blue, the green one is for older hondas. What i would do is wait for the car to cool and add coolant to the radiator (the cap with all the danger signs on it) until its at the top. run it for a bit with the cap off (they say until your rad fan kicks on three times but whatever we are just topping it off). then top up the overflow reservoir. thats what i'd do atleast.
washer fluid has a blue cap on it btw and it pops off really easy, no threads on it.
all i see are hondas so  |
Agreed, your car came with (type 2) blue coolant from the factory. If you look under the hood, there should be a sticker stating the coolant is good for 200,000 kms or 10 years. Although I personally ain't so sure it should wait that long. It wouldn't hurt to change it earlier than stated.
