what is that liquid bottle next to the radiator cap???? it seems mine is getting low and needs to be refilled but dont know what it is...

thanks:thumbsup:

What color is it?

Blue = windshield wiper
Green = antifreeze

 

it was blue but does that mean we have two bottles for the windshield washer thing???

the one am talking about is the one on the left...it has a white cap

 

the one circle in the picture..

 

That is the coolant reserve tank. Have you read your owner's manual?

 

hehehehe....i skimmed through it .... :dontknow: :thumbsup: :spin:

can i put any brand of coolant or do i have to go to acura to get it refilled?

dont know much,,,my first car...

 

do not use the radiator to put coolant in. use that clear tank that you circled to put coolant inside.

you put a risk to yourself by putting coolant through the radiator when it is hot.

just buy a bottle of coolant.. mix the proper amount of distilled water in it then pour it in that clear tank. it should be between min and max.

 

just so u know, the shop manual calls for a 50/50 mix of water/coolant...

 

Prestone now sells premixed antifreeze. I saw the commercials and I am sold. :thumbsup: :dontknow:

yeah, it's premixed 50/50

 

Again, refer to your owner's manual to make sure you get the right coolant. There are different kinds out there (like DexCool).
