Manual recommends 3 years or 45,000 miles. That's what I did! Also the same recommendation for brake fluid.

If you get the latest Honda coolant from your dealer, the container say 60K miles or 6yrs.
So once you put this new cooler in, it should be good for 60K/6yr.

i did it at 38,000miles at the dealer, but thats just me... it's never a bad thing changing it early... they say that you can run up to 70,000 to 90,000miles without changing it.... thats what the dealer said anyways...

don't remember the color, check your manual for how much you need.
you can pick it up from Acura or Honda dealer. I think all of them now sell an updated version (60K/6yr). You could see this on the container.
