So i bought this car new and babied this car like none other.
I stored it in 07 and i noticed by Nov. - Dec. that the coolant in the reservoir was low. I thought that maybe the dealer didn't add enough or something.
Well this year 08, after adding a cup of Honda genuine fluid, there was no fluid loss. Until Nov - Dec of 08.
So it seams that it goes about a cup low during cold months.
This year it is stored also.
I am worried because i dont know if this is normal.
There are people with these 8th gen civic's with the R series motors that complain of coolant loss & coolant smell and it leads up to cracked blocks or blown engines.
