What kind of coolant should I use?
My 2010 TSX that I just had for almost 3 months is only a 1/4 above the MIN line right now (coolant level). What kind of coolant should I use? My friends tell me to never get the ones that require you to mix with water.

Posted some incorrect advice earlier... trying it again:
As long as the coolant is between min/max, you should be fine. When the car cools down the coolant gets sucked into the radiator due to the cooling system being pressurized. When the car is at operating temperature, the coolant gets hot and expands, and excess gets pushed back into the reservoir. If you're concerned about the coolant level, take a look at it after the car's been running for awhile. Remember not to open the radiator cap!!!
If you do need coolant, the type to use is Honda Long Life Type 2.
