Re: Honda Coolant??
I'm sure you could buy pre-mix Canadian Tire coolant. I don't know. I
only used Honda Coolant in my 90 Civic HB that I had and my 00 Civic SiR.
The only stuff I buy for my Honda at Cdn Tire is Oil (Mobil 1) 5w30, and Car
wax. I only use OEM parts.
MTF fluid.. recommended - Honda
Coolant $14.xx ish from Honda (pre-mix). I'm a auto-tech and I much prefer
pre-mix over the straight stuff.
Then again $5 Cdn savings over WHAT is recommend vs. possible warranty
voiding store brand.
If you go through a lot of coolant then maybe there's another problem. I've
only have to use maybe about 1/8 of my pre-mix stuff on my civic in 20,000km
Sure with older DSM (Ford, GM, other) any coolant meeting Manu. specs should
be ok. Now with ATF fluid there's a whole bunch of types under the sun. IE
Ford has there own type, etc
I've seen a few dead water pumps in Hondas when the owner uses whatever the
cheapest on the market.
