Honda Type 2 50/50 Coolant - where to get?
 
My coolant level when cold is at the min line while at hot it gets like 1 inch above the min line. Should I top it off to the max?

Is there any place online to buy this stuff or should I just get it at the Honda dealer? How much should I be expected to pay for a gallon of the Honda pre mix coolant at the dealer?

Get it hot then top it off to the max line...

Only place I've found honda type II coolant is at a honda dealership.

expect to pay about $10 or so for each gallon of the honda coolant. Its not cheap, but it is already premixed.

$10 sounds like a fair price from Honda (sort of) I paid $17 for a gallon of Toyota OEM fluid. I would stick with Honda brand.

The level will jump around a lot depending on outside temps.

I always check mine when hot and top it to the full level.

I just went to the dealer and paid 14.99 + tax for a gallon.

Anyone know what the shelf life of this stuff is?

I dont think there is a shelf life expectancy for the coolant. If it can sit in a car for 100,000 miles with normal driving, I am sure it can sit on the shelf for a few years or longer.
