I am amazed at the number of people who are willing to take advice from complete strangers.

Read your owners manual and if you are still unsure call the dealer's service department.

Most of us here are strangers to one another...

Much of the traffic on this site is to solicit advice...

No need to "yell"...

The 2006/2007 Honda Civic 1.8 and 2.0 use the same exact coolant..
Call whoever you want, be it Honda or your service rep or consult the manual and you'll see that this perfect stranger is telling the truth.
