>honda has used green antifreeze in the past, does not mean its prestone. I don't give a sh.t if is blue and has little pink clovers in it. What matters is that it has sufficient thermal mass and that it won't corrode the cooling system. Paying twenty times more for a half percent improvement in performance is simple insanity.

The only hazard is that honda isn't making 9500% profit.

Flushing it out every other summer is sufficient.

I've been following the thread on Honda brand antifreeze, and I noticed the comments about Prestone not belonging in a Honda. I noticed green antifreeze in my 93 civic that I bought from a friend recently. What potential hazards am I dealing with? What's the best way to get it all out if I'm going to replace it?
