I don't doubt that you know what the fluid looked like from the factory or at a Honda dealership, but I just bought coolant for my 1998 DX. I'm flushing my coolant system right now and I'm out there with the block tester checking for exhaust gasses in my coolant because I suspect the head gasket for replacement. O'Reilley's will tell you to buy the green, and that's what the shop put in 5 years ago when I had the radiator replaced. I realize the FSM calls for mixing Honda coolant with water 50/50 and that this might be that stuff. But unless we feel certain this is 14+ year old coolant (warranty), I'm suggesting that the coolant might be incorrectly replaced premixed stuff, for example using the orange/yellow or whatever, instead of the prescribed green. EDIT: just posted my test results:
