Re: Engine Coolants
 

Hi
Talking about coolants, my 91 Accord Manual specifies 50% Ethylene Glycol
and 50% water and I was also kind of confused with which one to use. I just
got this car from a friend few months back.
Someone told me to use Napa (but it has some other glycol stuff too.) Any
suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.
Buddy.

Re: Engine Coolants
 

You are risking you water pump, this will cause your timing belt to fail and
this will cause your valves to bent.
Don't risk it, it's not worth it to mess with it. Honda is serious about
this one, use Honda coolant only.
You don't blive us, just buy anything you want, let us know how it works.
