I just checked my coolant level and its a bit low. I don't need a lot , maybe 1/2 quart at most. Does anyone have any extra coolant lying around that they could spare?

how much is a bottle at honda?

JTNY

don't think they sell bottles...its prob the full jug which i think is like a gallon? basically present fluid level is right at the "MIN" line. I guess the volume bet. min/man is 1/2qt? Or maybe less?


If anyone had some coolant left around i would buy out whatever they had otherwise i'm stuck with 3/4 gallon of unneeded coolant unless i do a flush....

orangebarius

ahh but what if you lose some more in the future and need to top it off again? i guess you could bump your old thread. im just making trouble, dont mind me.

why not put a little distilled water. It shouldn't increase the freeze point too much. I know i have done that in the past with no issue.

I use regular coolant.

orangebarius

yea i see you have an '02. that still takes the green stuff. the blue stuff is new.

im going to be doing a full flush this spring and putting in the blue stuff. 60k and 6 yrs is enough for my original coolant.

Prestone 50/50 here!
It's all the same stuff (until you go USDM and need dex)

as long as its designed for an all aluminium motor. The honda coolant is designed specifically for our types of motor and has a low silicate content. You might want to look into it before you put on too many miles.

whats cost on oem coolant? anyone know?

I'm taking my coolant out this week regardless. If oem is the same price of a few $ more I'll use it to be safe
