Where do you get OEM honda coolant from? Honda dealer?
^^ yep just ur regular honda dealer
Been using Castrol Anti-Boil/Freeze for the past 3 years. Does the job well and waterpump hasn't given way yet. Engine's still running strong after 300,000kms+. Only began using OEM stuff recently but I don't notice any sort of different in coolant temps.
I use nulon , the performance one, pretty standard stuff.
My mechanic (hannys) use it, probably because its cheap but I trust their opinion.
Will probably get some oem stuff though.
i use toyota coolant in my hondas ;)
lolz i use nulon as well because of the same reson
i think it same shit around but
$10 tectaloy from supercheap. I seem to change it so often that spending any more would be pouring money into the garden.
Besides, it's cheaper for me to replace a waterpump than spend $10+ per LITRE for coolant.
I have emailed Nulon to see if their coolant has silicates. The slackers haven't replied yet but I'll let you know what I find out.
honda coolant is $50 for 5 litres, and your supposed to change it every 120,000kms.Quote:

It's been replaced around once every 6 months for the past 3 years, be it a full engine change, radiator change or a head change. That's over $300 saved (I need over 6L to fully fill) which is enough for two water pumps. Bonus that I can spill it, boil it, or just plain lose it and not feel guilty :DQuote:

So what's the opinion on what type of coolant to use? Premix? Or Concentrate? I've been using premix without a problem, but just thought about whether you could save money mixing your own coolant with concentrate...How much will a typical bottle/jug of concentrate cost, and how much coolant will it make?
