There is a reason. :) http://www.geocities.com/dtmcbride/h...ntifreeze.html

that site contain too much stuffs to digest.... Just get a Honda coolant for a peace of mind. :p

sorry to break the topic but how hot does your temp needle run ?

mine is like over a third...

Ranges between a 1/3 and 1/2 mark....

Using the coolant readout on the integrated radio/aircon display, my operating coolant temp is between 85-92 degrees. Lower on the freeway.

Yep.Mine too.

thanks guys, just that i thought it seemed a bit hotter but i guess it's normal.

I used to run about 90 degrees normal city driving. After a coolant change, it is 85 degrees. But not much info since the proof is in the oil temperatures (and I don't have an oil temp gauge)

just a general question.
if your radiator is full (squeezing pipe makes coolant bob up and down) but your reservoir is low on coolant, is it advisable tp top it up?

When ur car has been running for a good 5-10minutes or so, check ur resovoir, if its less than low, then yes i'd top it up.

If ur car is parked, and it is well below low, you'd prob still be better of topping up to get the level at least to low.
