oem ftw. it would be fine to use, but why not stick with oem?
as with oem, make sure you get the mixture right

and dont even think about mixing brands of coolant. no sir.

honda dealership is too far to go to for me. whats (ftw) mean? what you mean by right mixture? you mean 50/50?

i recommend not too use ANY aftermarket coolant.
only use GENUINE.
from my experience, even castrol, NULON, and other expensive/cheap brands, tend to corrode, components, eg, water pumps, thermostat housings etc..
i've always used genuine honda coolant, and never a problem, where as people i know and customers, come in using just water, or other brands of coolants, come in with leaking water pumps, corroded pipes etc.

i always stress this to people when it comes to honda's and coolant.

ftw = for teh win! ie better.

as for mixture, its called coolant CONCENTRATE for a reason - you dont just put it straight in. it will say on the bottle. from memory i think its 1 part concentrate to 3 parts distilled water, but im not 100% sure on that.

as i said before dont mix brands, and i say once again, get GENUINE HONDA COOLANT.
