I used oem Honda pre-mix coolant but have been using Shell Rotella ELC with good results. It is cheaper but still follows Honda's requirements that their cooling system was designed with. I would never run plain Eth-Glycol coolant in my engine.

The secs sheet on Shell ELC: low silicate formula

i used the honda stuff but damn its getting expensive...
anyone care to explain what water wetter is?

R6Elmo

redine water wetter or royal purple's ice are similar in that you can run just water and add these items in to lube the water pump and other items. WIth distilled water and the above items, it suits fine for track use as you don't want glycerol based fluids leaking on the track (road course..not drag)

i use the redish/pinkish stuff from toyota..
