Make sure you use green and not orange coolant. Technically, you should be using Honda coolant since it doesnt contain Boron & Silicates which can adversely affect aluminum.
Ive been told from those in the know that its really just overpriced garbage, and any green coolant is the way to go.

Antifreze is designed to lower the freezing point of water, not to cool the engine. You need the water to cool the motor, the antifreeze is like a "water modifier" to make it more versatile for extreme conditions.
So.
You need some water in there to actually cool the motor.
