P1000 Honda coolant?

[Vikes79]

Anyone using the automotive coolant in their Hondas vs the oem quarts?

I gotta believe it’s the same smurf juice?

gonna risk it for the biscuit as I got a leak and need it now.

All I'll say is I used it in my polaris after I rebuilt the water pump . I know the guy that bought it no problems in almost 5 years. But at the time I didn't really care I had worked on it so much I was over it.

I used that when I flushed my system out after overheating, been over a year and no issues 👍

You can use prestone Blue Asian vehicle coolant. Same stuff much cheaper. Did that in my 16’ when I did a heater 3 yrs ago and my old P5 no problemo’s

Good to hear

no luck on the Prestone, couldn’t find it locally.

I grabbed the Wally World Asian jug, it’s blue and the P1k5 hasn’t melted down as of 30 mins ago…

tastes like blue berries 😂

j/k

They use to let us buy the Automotive gallons like the car dealers have. But they turned the number off and we cant order it anymore.

So its the same thing

I just saw this stuff yesterday when I was at Walmart in northern Michigan. I had never seen it before but wondered if anyone else had or more importantly, have they used it. It seems a bit pricey ($19) for almost a half gallon. I don't need any but wondered if/when the day comes. The picture is a bit blurry to see the fine print but that's how it shows on the website.

A lot of people used it in Rhinos, prone to running hot, as well as Water Wetter. One is added to antifreeze and one can’t be, if I am remembering correctly…been a while.

Water Wetter is an additive for water-based coolants. Engine Ice is intended to be run as a replacement.

You can add small amount of water (RO or distilled preferably) to EI in an emergency or top off, but they tell you to flush & replace later if you've added to much water.

The problem with Engine Ice (other than being overpriced) is its not supposed to be mixed with anything. I know guys that use to run it in dirtbikes all the time. Now just about everyone uses off the shelf coolant.
