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
Pros: Best OEM coolant
Cons: slightly worse
Vehicle:
Honda
I recently changed the coolant in my 2020 CX-5 with genuine Mazda prediluted FL22. The reason I change the coolant is corrosion protection. The corrosion inhibitors in coolant deplete with both time and mileage. Many aftermarket coolants may not be formulated with the identical corrosion protection chemical strategy found in the Mazda FL22 coolant. Using an aftermarket coolant is a risk I am not willing to take. My cooling system remains safe from corrosion. Using my schedule I will not have coolant and internal corrosion issues for as long as I own my car. Peace of mind is worth it to me.
Pros: corrosion protection, peace of mind
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’ve never ever seen OEM Honda coolant even remotely dirty, sludged or have insufficient protection even after 100k miles.
Pros: long-lasting, clean, protective
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 160934 km
For Coolant OEM Honda the blue stuff is perfect it's almost like it's made for the car.
Pros: perfect for car
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
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.
Pros: designed to run long
Cons: less corrosion protection
Mileage: 120000 km
Last time I priced FL 22 at the Mazda dealer it was about the same as AutoZone I was surprised I thought it would be considerably more.
Pros: same price as AutoZone
Part number: FL 22
Mine went 11 years with not as much as a check and it came out perfectly the same as the new stuff going in.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
I noticed a coolant leak the other week and bang - this was the exact issue.
Cons: coolant leak
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 135000 km
