Harvaline or Prestone????

thanks for the input

 

Acura recommends that you use a coolant with no silicates. I know regular Prestone has silicates - but I'm not sure about Havoline.

Read the label on the back to see if it contains them.

 

Redline Water Wetter!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just go for Honda factory coolant.

 

I highly recommend sticking with Honda coolant. I had an Accord that I filled with Prestone--the whole system filled up with corrosion after about 30K miles.

-J.P.

IMHO the same thing goes with transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid. Honda has gone to a lot of trouble to develop fluids that are compatible with their systems and keep the seals lubricated and corrosion at bay.

 

Thanks guys. Honda Coolent....Here I come!

 

the havoline/prestone dex cool approved coolants are silicate free.

they are the ones to use.

 

I understand your point and that it's better to not take any chances. However, some Honda/Acura products are made by other companies and you can buy direct for better prices.

For instance, Honda/Acura Type 2 coolant is made by Pentosin. Pentosin Pentofrost A3 is the same coolant and it's typically much cheaper.
