8.Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
a Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the coolant concen-
tration must be maintained year-round at 500,6
minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 507o
may not provide sufficient protection against cor,
rosion or freezing.
a Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will im-
pair cooling efliciency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix different brands of anti-lrcezel
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitots or anti-tustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

Cap Testing
1.Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(0.95 1.25 kgf/cm', 13.5 17.8 psi)
Check for a drop in pressure.

Pressure Testing
1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top ot the filler neck.
2. Attach the pressure tester to the radiator and apply
a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgf/cmr, 13.5-'17.8 psi)
3. Inspect lor engine coolant leaks and a drop inpressure.
4. Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
NOTE:
a Check for engine oil in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the engine oil.a Check for ATF in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the ATF {A/T}.

tt.Pour Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck.
NOTE:
o Always use Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant
Type 2. Using a non-Honda coolant can result incorrosion, causing the cooling system to mal-function or fail.
o Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is amixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water.Premixing is not required.
