What brand do you guys use for coolant?
Is there a specific OEM brand for our Honda Civics that I should be using for coolant? If so, what's the name/part number?
Sounds like a silly question but it really isn't because my Tundra requires a specific (OEM) brand.

I just go to the dealer or order online from BernardiParts.com . I just use OEM because I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm probably being a stickler about it, but I guess that's my nature.

stick with oem or if you can find it zerex (valvoline) import vehicle coolant. those are the only two with the proper additives/composition for our honda cooling system.

What's the difference between an Acura coolant reading p/n OL999-9011A (difference is the letter "A") and ours? Could I use theirs in mine?
Basically, I know Honda = Acura.
Acura's coolant is slapped with a black label whereas ours is blue.

Good because I just ordered 4 gallons of the Acura premixed anti-freeze/coolant. They're so much cheaper than the Hondas...go figure.

interesting, i wouldve thought the only reason for "acura" fluids would be a higher markup. the acura dealer here has honda fluids for certain things. but i mean they are pretty much the same car and i bet the fluids are bought from the same supplier and just badged differently.

Overheating or loss of coolant, heater blowing cold
