I'm getting ready to install my heater (from honda), I know I'll need some antifreeze, can anyone who has installed one tell roughly how how antifreeze I should get from the dealership before I start the install?

Tnx Ben

Not sure how much extra you'll need. When you drain it out of the motor you'll probably lose some , I'am always mananged to lose some no matter how careful I've been. The extra heater hose's will take some so to be safe just buy a gal jug. You'll always use it some place. I've always just gotten my Anti freeze from the local parts place, just make sure it's Aluminum compatiable.

if it were out of warranty I wouldn't hesitate to use the stuff in my garage. I'd rather spend the extra and avoid any hassles down the road. I think honda sells it premixed in quarts (probably $20 a quart) so I just going to grab 3 of them, any thing i don't use I'll bring back.
