What is the brand of Honda genuine coolant?
2 Answers
Honda genuine coolant is the special HONDA coolant. Coolant is a liquid containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as anti-freeze in winter, anti-boil in summer, and year-round anti-scale and anti-corrosion. Can different coolants be mixed? You must use the same brand of coolant. Different brands of coolant may have different production formulas. If mixed, various additives may react chemically, causing the additives to become ineffective. How to determine if coolant is low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low coolant, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperature. Check the coolant reservoir. If the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add coolant promptly. Check the water level scale on the coolant bottle. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of coolant.
I've been driving a Honda for many years and always use Honda Genuine Coolant for maintenance. The original factory calls it that name, specifically designed for their engines, commonly seen in blue bottles. The feeling after replacement is particularly reassuring—no worries about freezing in winter, and quick heat dissipation in summer prevents the car from breaking down. Personal experience tells me not to switch brands randomly. Last year, I tried a non-genuine one and ended up with a water temperature alarm; luckily, I got it fixed in time without engine damage. The manual recommends changing it every two years or 30,000 kilometers. If doing it yourself, be careful not to splash it on your skin, as antifreeze is corrosive—wear gloves and clean thoroughly. Regularly check the fluid level and color changes; early detection and treatment save big money.
