Antifreeze Prestone or OEM Honda

Prestone European Vehicles Antifreeze & Coolant states, Superior guaranteed protection - 5 years / 150,000 miles. Prestone Platinum All Vehicles Antifreeze & Coolant states, Extreme protection - 15+ years / 350,000 miles.

For Coolant OEM Honda the blue stuff is perfect it's almost like it's made for the car.

If you are going to use Prestone brand, then you'd want Violet color.

The correct coolant is Honda longlife which is blue. Someone has already put \"all vehicle\" green stuff in it, which will keep it cool just fine but not provide as much corrosion protection over the long term. The factory Honda coolant is designed to run for 120,000 miles; this stuff is good for maybe 30-50k before it should be changed.

Mine went 11 years with not as much as a check and it came out perfectly the same as the new stuff going in.

I'd recommend genuine Honda coolant. Others tend to cause water pump to leak.

G12/13 has better lubricating properties over long periods of time, which is why they use it in what you always hear as "lifetime fill." This is due to the phosphates in the coolant.

The Prestone stuff works just fine and there shouldn't really be an issue.

I have been using Prestone Green FORever, in all my cars but the one that is Dexi-cool. I don't think I have ever had an issue with the Green as I flush my cars on a bi-yearly kinda thing or when I have to change things.

In a pinch I added Prestone Universal green to my VW coolant, next day the expansion tank had a nasty looking brown mixture in it that freaked me out, my desire to put inexpensive universal fluid to top off my B6 ended up costing me over $150 for VW to drain, flush with cleaner and refill with G12+.
