Top Coolant?
Today my 2013 RDX AC seems not blowing cold air, so I checked the coolant, it's below the "min". Currently don't have time to change the coolant, can I just go to buy the third party coolant and top it?

Look for Zerex Asian Vehicle formula; either that or genuine Honda coolant.

The above said, topping off your coolant is unlikely to help with your A/C.

The driver side AC is blowing warm air, but passage side is cooling. Does this car have two AC? Any idea how to repair it?

One A/C, two zones. I'd start by checking the blend door.
