Will prestone coolant cause leaks if u with accords?

 

if your weeping coolant, your water pump is leaking or a hose has a pin-leak. It's not the coolants fault.

Use phosphate free coolants if possible.

 

prestone is fine to use in a accord just flush your system before installing it so you dont have any chemical reactions between the different coolants

 

I heard the red coolant was better than the green.

 

Yes!!! Finally, I can post! Woohooo

 

can you explain the red coolant to me, dont get me wrong, ive been using the green stuff for eons and never had a problem, what is the red stuff all about, besides the obvious difference in color? does it have better thresh-holds for temperature or something? this i need to know, and just stick with basically any one major brand of coolant and you wont ever have to worry about squat, just be careful that you never mix, adding a little water wont hurt but DONT mix coolant...and the red stuff, you gotta explain that to me...!

 

Actually, it can be the coolants fault. There was a TSB on Honda coolant. Most brands of coolant out there are designed for iron blocks and use additives (mostly silicates) to be safe for aluminum blocks. These additives eat away at the seals and can cause leaks.
