Why do I have blue coolant?
 
Why did honda give me blue coolant? Its Honda Fluid Type 2 50/50 with extra performance additive or some crap. Is that why its blue. Anybody else using this? Any probs with using it? I filled the coolant passage in my block up with it. Im not mixing it with other coolant. Everything is empty right now, other than the block.

Peace

thats just the color of there coolant I think. I wondered the same thing when I purchased it almost a half a year ago.

its just a way for them to identify there stuff...

the same thing goes for gas..
regualr pump gas is clear.. of course you guys know that
100octane is blue in color
and diesel is green in color...

basically its just for identifying purposes

My Honda coolant is green to? I think they put inshield wiper fluid in there?

mrDFWmechanic 09-14-2005 07:20 PM

if it says 50/50 on it then it should be coolant.

Yo listen up: here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is
Just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around

'Cause he aint got nobody to listen: ...
I'm blue (da ba dee)
I'm blue (da ba dee)
I'm blue (da ba dee)
I'm blue (da ba dee)


I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feeling that live inside me
I'm blue (da ba dee)
I'm blue (da ba dee)

honda changed it to blue. It used to be green. I talked to the reps when I bought some coolant at the dealer and they told me its new style, im using the blue coolant and no trouble.

genexrocket 09-15-2005 12:48 AM

my 04's green

Danka02 09-15-2005 02:06 AM

but they changed it to blue

Jrfish007 09-15-2005 07:41 AM

yeah, ti just way to ID the Honda fluid from the rest. That way the people at Jiffy lube know that the civic need a fluid they don't carry, then you have to go to Honda to get it.

By the way, my diesel is red and only cost about 2.30 a gallon :giggle:

mrDFWmechanic 09-15-2005 11:58 PM

GM's use a special fluid called Dexcool its pink in color just a little info.

DaddyFatSacks 09-16-2005 02:24 PM

They switched the color to blue, when I bought mine, the guys was like, don't be alarmed cause it's blue not green now.
