There are some differences. I advise you to get the Honda Antifreeze. I
have read that it's not a good idea to mix different brands of Antifreeze.
When you drain out or flush out your system--some of the old antifreeze
remains in the system. If you had Honda Antifeeze in it before you drained
out or flushed out the systyem--it's a great idea to make use of Honda
Antifreeze as the new Antifreeze that you make use of so as to prevent
combining two brands of Antifreeze. Regardless of which type of antifreeze
you use--follow the directions

Sold both ways. Recently bought the regular non mixed (gray jug, blue
label) from the dealer.

Ask Honda to prove what they say, until then Honda can gargle on their own
"Sausage gravy". Pete

Since my Civic needed two water pump replacements in its first 85k miles
using non Honda antifreeze, I'm a believer in using their coolant. It's the
silicates and/or borates in the non Honda green stuff that is supposed to
wear out the pump seals.

I'll save the gravy for my biscuits.
