Acura recommends that you use a coolant with no silicates. I know regular Prestone has silicates - but I'm not sure about Havoline.
Read the label on the back to see if it contains them.

learned the hard way
I highly recommend sticking with Honda coolant. I had an Accord that I filled with Prestone--the whole system filled up with corrosion after about 30K miles.

IMHO the same thing goes with transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid. Honda has gone to a lot of trouble to develop fluids that are compatible with their systems and keep the seals lubricated and corrosion at bay.
