Engine Coolant

Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the radiator.

We

specify Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.

n

Checking the Coolant Level

Open the hatch and remove the driver’s side engine cover (see
page 182).
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is below the MIN mark,
add the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

Reserve

Tank

MAX

MIN

If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant mixture should
be changed to a higher concentration. Consult your authorized Acura NSX dealer for more
information.

NOTICE

n

Adding Coolant

Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
Turn the reserve tank cap counterclockwise and relieve any
pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap down
when turning.
Push down and turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.

Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the MAX
mark. Put the cap back on the reserve tank and tighten.

Reserve Tank

Cap

Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to

spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank

cap.

WARNING

Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately;
they can damage components in the engine compartment.
