Go to an Honda dealer and get the Anti-freeze Type II.

I use the newest Honda stuff, its blue. Also note that its premixed. I mix it 75/25 in the summer with watter wetter, gonna try it again this summer with the new thermo and fan switch to see if it makes a difference. IIRC its $9 a gallon.

Honda type II mixed with water wetter will turn to brown sludge. It took me a while to clean it out of the last customers car that tried it.

You sure the water wetter isn't doing it's job? It's detergent-like and cleans off the oil / goo that's accumulated in the cooling system.
