Can't tell you, almost everyone here uses Honda pre-mixed.

As long as the coolant you are using is Silicate and Phosphate FREE!


because our radiator and engine block is aluminum, you'll want to use something that DOESNT HAVE silicates or phosphates in it.

SILICATES AND PHOSPHATES WILL FUCK YOUR ENGINE UP!!!!!!

^^Yup.

So what's easiest to do is just use the Honda premix as all say and be done with it. On line can be a good deal even with shipping. Or just go by the local Acura or Honda dealer (whoever's closest) and get it. For the frequency you need to change it it's really not worth worrying about the savings of alternates.
