honda Antifreeze
Is there really that big of a difference between the Honda Antifreeze and
the high quality Green Prestone Antifreeze? I just changed mine and refilled it with prestone. The manual makes it sound like I would be just as well to put sausage gravy in it if I use anything but the honda formula. I really don't want to change it again if I don't have too. What should I do? -- Greg T |
Re: honda Antifreeze
You can do a search on google, but you should drain it and use honda
coolant. Save your water pump and your engine. Prestone is high quality but it is not what your honda needs.

Re: honda Antifreeze
it is a 99 and it says to use honda fluid. I was all ready to flush the car
and the Honda dealer was closed, so i went ahead and used the prestone I bought. I just find it hard to believe that the formulas can vary that much. I know you are not supposed to use the red stuff that gm uses, but i thought the standard "Green " Formula, (whatever it is) would be fine.

Re: honda Antifreeze
I did a search on Google, I wish i had waited until i bought the honda
stuff. Well, at least I know how to do it now.

Re: honda Antifreeze
It's not who makes the coolant.....its the specs that the coolant is made
under. Since Honda uses aluminum parts in their engines, their coolant is designed specifically for their engines and nobody elses. Thankfully, luck has been on your side.

Re: honda Antifreeze
It's amazing on how the mooing masses of sheeple are herded and led around.
Anyone that uses a marque branded or dealer service for that matter just are the sort of folks that like to toss their hard earned cash into a meaningless pit. Gotta love the stupidity that pervades this planet...

Big difference, and it's all because of the water you mix with it. American antifreeze (Prestone in this case) needs sodium silicate in it to keep American water from eating your water pump, engine block and so on. Japanese antifreeze has no silicates; they use other water-pump lubes. Silicates in a car that is designed around non-silicate antifreeze are bad news. You do need to mix the Japanese antifreeze with distilled water, and it's pretty easy: get a gallon of distilled water, a gallon of Honda coolant, dump together in a 2-gallon container, then funnel the mix back into the containers. Be sure to remove the DISTILLED WATER label from that jug and clearly mark it HONDA ANTIFREEZE * LETHAL * DO NOT DRINK WHATEVER YOU DO! |
