Coolant: Honda stuff or anything?
- Thread starter goldNSX
- Start date
Consensus here has been that it's worth sticking with the Honda coolant. Honda makes a point of saying it has no silicates or borates. You can get it from Honda dealers, it's not like Acura has a different formula.
My experience with the Honda coolant is that it doesn't generate crud in the system. I change every 2 years and the fluid that comes out looks like new. Whether or not another brand would be just as good, I can't say--but I am happy with the Honda product.
The way I see it, any price difference in coolant is trivial compared to what gas/tires/insurance costs over two years.

Yes. Use the Honda stuff.
The NSX has various aluminum pieces in the cooling system which other coolants and their additives can harm.

So which one is cheaper?
They are the same price at my dealers here in San Diego. I buy my coolant from 2 Honda dealers and 2 Acura dealers. Same price.
Some dealers do make their own special "List Price". One dealer that I don't do business with gave me 30% off but jacked up their prices 40% more than other dealers.

Definitely stay with Honda Coolant. I've read on several occasions of how Honda's coolant is "over-engineered."
I use as well OEM Honda cooling stuff. Way to go!
