Default Refilling coolant

I just finished draining and refilling the coolant on my 2001 CR-V yesterday. In the Haynes manual it should to use non-silicate coolant but I had to use what I had available at the time. Is it safe to use this chevron coolant low-silicate (picture) or should I replace it with coolant from the dealership?

i think you have nothing to worry about, but next time you drain your engine go for the honda coolant or a similar.

And next time you want to switch or repair anything look in the Haynes before you do it, not after

Been running O'reilly's brand coolant after I did a radiator flush. No problems. I have had 4 different Hondas in my life, and I never once bought stealership coolant.
