as long as there is some coolant left in there, just add water... water mixed with the coolant will not freeze.

You shouldn't mix coolants just like you shouldn't mix oil with different viscosities. Be safe, drain it and refill it with Engine Ice.

If I am not mistaken, the directions indicate that engine ice should only be used with water. Read your directions on the can to be sure.

drain it. you will find with engine ice, and not the dealership/honda coolant, your temps will decrease overall.

but consider the price difference. HP Coolant runs around $7 a bottle, whereas Engine Ice is $17 a 1/2 gallon.
