How do you put antifreeze in a Honda Civic?
To put the coolant into your Honda, unscrew the top of the overflow reservoir, and slowly pour in the mixture until it has reached the full mark. Tightly replace the cap on the reservoir and you are all finished! Coolant should be changed every couple of years, following the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Where is the coolant reservoir on a Honda Civic?
In most cars today, there is an opaque coolant overflow tank located next to the radiator. The opaque tank is made of white plastic, which allows you to see the inside and be sure that the coolant is at a safe level. You will also find that there are markings on the side to tell you how high or low the level is.

Can you put antifreeze in a hot car?
Can I add coolant/antifreeze to a hot car? In instances where an engine has overheated, causing a breakdown, there may be a need to add fresh coolant/antifreeze to the cooling system. However, you should never add coolant/antifreeze when the engine is hot, and instead, wait for it to cool.
Do you put antifreeze in the radiator or overflow?
Add coolant as needed. Add the fluid to the overflow tank if your car has one; otherwise, add it to the radiator. (You may want to use a funnel to prevent spillage.) Under most driving conditions, antifreeze should be mixed with distilled water at a one to one ratio, or half antifreeze and half distilled water.
How do you check the antifreeze in a Honda Civic?
Checking your coolant fluid level is easy – you don’t even need to open your radiator cap. Simply take a look at the side of your reservoir and you should see markings indicating the fluid levels. As long as the coolant reaches the “full” marking line, you’re good to go.
