Coolant is coolant. If you feel like it, buy more expensive stuff, but it really doesn't matter. If you have to mix the coolant with water, make sure it is distilled water, as the minerals in tap water will collect inside the system and may deteriorate hoses. You can also buy pre-mixed coolant that doesn't require dilution with water. You must never, ever, put coolant that contains silicates in a Honda for you will ruin your water pump if you do. You have two choices: "all makes all models" coolant that's available from most auto parts places (be careful of AutoZone's "Valucraft" brand; this isn't all makes-all models), or Honda Genuine coolant. Strangely enough, the inexpensive "SuperTech" coolant Wal-Mart sells works fine. And yes, definitely mix it with distilled water.
