you cannot use all coolant. they recommend 50/50 for coolant and water. I suggest that when you flush the coolant, to run Ford coolant flush through it and take your time with it. I also suggest using OEM Honda coolant

If you use OEM coolant - which I would recommend (it's about the same price as any other brand - and made for your car), then DO NOT mix it with water as it is already premixed 50/50.

Just read the label - it's pretty obvious.
