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
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'd recommend genuine Honda coolant. Others tend to cause water pump to leak.
Pros: prevents water pump leaks
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
I got the light this morning on the wife's JSW. So I checked out the situation. Sure enough seriously low coolant, like well below minimum fill line. Only 7000 miles. Took it to the dealership to have it topped off.
Cons: seriously low coolant
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 7000 km
for vw's; i prefer using the 50/50 coolant from the dealer my gf's 2.0 had a small leak for months and we just kept on topping it off with the pepboys stuff-- but once i replaced the thermostat housing you can see corrosion in the hoses and the old housing -the coolant from vw is quite different than aftermarket brands (you can really tell just from its thickness-- i suggest forking the dough over for the vw stuff -other cars; i don't know
Pros: coolant quite different
Cons: corrosion in hoses
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
G12 may cost 12 bucks a gallon, but you only need one gallon and the manual states it is good for the life of your vehicle.
Pros: good for vehicle life
Mileage: 100000 km
i run the G12 - every vw i ran G11 in, the coolant broke down after 5k miles, but the minute i swiched to g12, i have yet to have a problem
Pros: no problem
Cons: coolant broke down
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 5000 km
The mk3 came with G11 coolant. The mk4 came with G12 coolant. I'm running G12 in a well-flushed mk3 radiator, and I have no problems.
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
