But for the love of god use the blue stuff. Preferably the correct brand but I couldn't find any in my hick-ass town so I used Prestone and I haven't noticed any ill effects
Owner reviews for antifreeze
Toyota coolant, the red / pink stuff is some of the best coolant available.
I had the same issue with the same sound. I topped up the coolant and at around 38 psi the noise went away and the AC functions perfectly.
I use Peak for Asian vehicles, green in color, for my Mazda's. Get it at most auto parts stores in 50/50 mix so you never worry about cold temps in winter.
I wanted to top my collant up, and bought 1 ltr. of Motul Motocool Expert Hybrid Tech. Served me well over the hot summer months. Coolant tempt never went above 3 bars
Just use toyota long life coolant je bro. Applicable to all car but buy the original one at toyota SC. Many prefered this coolant since it is good to engine cooling system
Use pentosin
I have looked at the additive packages on all Honda compatible coolants. Many other manufacturers (Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru) have switched to similar coolants that are slightly worse than Honda coolant. Honda has the strictest requirements for their engines that they refused to give their engines to GM for Saturn cars after GM said they will require GM coolant. Here are my rankings:
1) Honda Type 2 (OEM) Coolant Best OEM coolant Has about the same Diethylene Glycol and anti corrosion and detergent additives
I've used the PEAK Asian pink coolant in my Camry in a pinch, but OEM is worth it. (For my 2013 prius and 2014 camry, they use the pink colored fluid)
I noticed a coolant leak the other week and bang - this was the exact issue.
