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...

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!

Honda antifreeze is being sold pre-mixed. So I donšt think you want to do
this unless you want a 25 percent solution.

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
