Default Wiper Washer and Coolant question

Lo gents,

Well I will be needing to add more coolant soon, since my reservoir is pretty low. Just curious what coolant I should use to top up the factory one. I will not be draining the entire cooling system, just need a topup, for both my s2k and accord. Do I need to get these at the dealer?

Also for wiper washer refil, will any brand work? is there a special kind that works well? and really really well?

You have an MY03 and your reservoir is low You could use almost any antifreeze made specifically for an aluminum head, but since you are just topping off, I would stick with the factory Honda antifreeze. The factory antifreeze is pretty good antifreeze.

This way you wont be mixing two entirely differen't antifreeze's together.

Just so long as it's at or above the MIN line when cold, you should be fine. When you drive hard, the coolant expands up to the MAX line.
