Honda fluids - who stocks locally
« on: June 08, 2010, 11:03:10 AM »
At the risk of starting a new controversial thread.... :D

I was just notified by Service Honda they no longer will ship chemicals that are deemed "hazardous" for shipping.  No shock there but I was surprised they would not ship me the Honda pre-mixed coolant.  So I guess I need to look for a local shop who stocks it.  Unfortunately I gave up on local shops a long time ago for either stocking Hona premix, or having enough on the shelf (always a bottle or two short.)  Does anyone recall seeing a nice stash on the floor at a shop in the south metro recently?

I always bought my Honda premix coolant at Bloomington Richfield Honda (the car dealer). It's pretty expensive but I think that it's the same as the motorcycle coolant (silicate free and such).

Honda Automotive coolant is blue in color if that matters but I'm sure it provides the cooling capabilties just fine!  Kinda stupid IMO(Honda going to blue in color in the automotive line coolant) because it very closely resembles windshield washer fluid.....

I've seen the Honda coolant and yeah, it's blue but if anyone confuses it with the blue window wash....well I guess they deserve to run wash in their radiator.   :D
