How much coolant?

How much coolant (in US gallons) do I need to add to my 2006 civic in a
50/50 mixture with distilled water?

How much antifreeze/coolant (in US gallons) do I need to add to my 2006
civic in a 50/50 mixture with distilled water?

If you use Honda coolant, which you should on this car, it is already
dilluted for you.
Just add!

Use only Honda Antifreeze, which will be pre-mixed. No need for diluting.

And add it until it is full in the Radiator, then make sure the overflow
is full to at least the min mark, better if it is somewhere in the middle
or closer to the max.

I am not sure, but IIRC, this should only take a gallon from empty.

-=================================

It's in your manual, and depends on what tranny you have.

Fill the reservoir to MAX because it will be needed to displace lots of
air. Use the heater to remove more trapped air and fill the reservoir to
MAX again next time after engine cools.. This is also in your manual.
Honda premix is simplest and worth the extra $$.

Be sure it is premixed. Honda does sell both premix and solid antifreeze! (A
liquid of course

)
