Coolant Question
Just a quick question, is prestone suitable coolant fluid to run in these cars?

I have a chilton's and it seems very vag, all it said was use honda reccomanded coolant with a 50% mixture of distilled water.

Honda Type-2
Use Honda Type-2 coolant. About $27/4L Pre-mixed and for alu. rad/block...i've also heard that there is already an additive to prevent small leaks...but don't quote me.

yup I only use the Honda Coolant....I don't trust all these "for all metal" or "specially made for aluminum" crap labels on those other bottles
