I think its OK to use non-Honda fluid for brake fluid as long as its DOT3.

I am running Prestone 50/50 coolant without a problem in my CL-S. As for the other fluids, they are all Honda.

Since you have all Honda fluids, must as well go with Honda 50/50 coolant! I swap my out for the HONDA BLUE color coolant!

Just used Honda pre-mixed 50/50 coolant. It is about the same price as other coolant. Used Honda oem fluids and you don't have to worry about what is recommend and what is not.

I'll get around to changing it eventually. I was in a bind and needed coolant ASAP so I got that.

to be honest i dont think there is NY THING HONDA COOLANT WILL HAVE THAT U CAN NOT GET FRM OTHER COOLANTS.
pRESTONE i think is cool.
I even mixed mine with some cool water when i got to TX and their real hot weather (105).
And i think it made a difference.

Get the pre-mixed 50/50 Honda coolant so you don't have to mess with anything. Regular water leaves deposits so you should mix it with distilled water. Plus with Honda 50/50, you got Honda blue running through your engine veins.
