Well, I'm gonna be doing some Tune-ups and was wondering if I could use the following products in my Accord

Royal Purple MAX AFT Dexron III (helms says use Dexron II)

Royal Purple Purple ICE Radiator Fluid

Royal Purple MAX EZ powersteering fluid

Royal Purple Motor Oil (if the regular motor oil non-synthetic?)

Thanks, Nick

Sure you CAN, but I wouldn't.

There oil is not a full synthetic, its a synthetic blend. Yet it costs just as much as full synthetics.

Your really not going to see anything worthwhile with the atf, radiator fluid, or power steering fluid.

Stick with honda fluids, and if you want to break the surface tension of the coolant put a few drops of unscented dish soap into your reservoir, which is the same concept as water wetter.

I know for the 98-02 Accords, you HAVE to use Honda ATF or your automatic trans will take a crap.

I guess it's news to me when it comes the 5th gen accords being able to use Dexron III

it breaks the surface tension of the coolant. The exact same thing water wetter does.
