You can use Honda coolant. Or you can also used that pre-mixed coolant at your local auto parts to make it easier for you.

I would get Honda coolant, but the car is down and I have to walk to the local auto place. I wasn't sure, and I'm still not sure if there are any specifications I have to keep in mind when I pick up some coolant?
