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?

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. And to boot, i did both of
our cars at the same time (both civics)

Greg,
HUMOR: Unless you're in Hawaii, the sausage gravy idea won't work.
Here in Canada, the stuff turns solid in winter, and this overloads the
timing belt as it tries to turn the water pump. In summer, it attracts
dogs to your car, even when driving at slow speeds. :-)
