I am told that I should only use honda coolant with my car because it has an aluminum engine and because it is specfically formulated no to corrode the seals. Is they're really a difference between honda and say prestone coolant, and if so does anyone know if using prestone will cause damage? And how can I be sure my dealership is using honda coolant when I go in for servicing.

 

most coolants on the market today are compatable for alum. engines,just make sure you mix it right with some water

 

yeah, pretty much any coolant out there will work with any engine... it's just another way honda wants to squeeze money out of ya
