Hi,

The max RAM for your system is 16GB of DDR3L – 1600 Mhz RAM Sodimm. (2x8GB)

You can not use 1866Mhz RAM or at least if it works it will still only run at 1600Mhz. You can use many brands such as Crucial, Kingston ... as long as it is DDR3L-1600  and each stick max 8GB.

On page 46 of service manual you can see various steps to install the RAM.
