Honda’s Use of Blue Antifreeze
Honda does use blue antifreeze for its vehicles. The Honda Genuine Longlife Blue Antifreeze/Coolant is specifically designed for Honda vehicles and provides long-term corrosion protection to all metal and non-metal parts of the cooling system. It is a pre-mixed formulation that does not require coolant service for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. This blue antifreeze is intended for Asian makes, including Honda vehicles. It is important to note that using non-Honda coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail.
Customers have also expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Honda Type 2 Coolant/Antifreeze, mentioning that it worked great for a coolant flush and is easy to use. Additionally, Pentofrost A3, which is suitable for all Asian vehicles using “blue” Antifreeze/Coolant, is recommended for Honda vehicles.
It’s worth noting that Honda states it’s okay to mix blue antifreeze with green antifreeze, but not the other way around. The green coolant is designed to be used until about 60,000 miles, while the blue coolant that Honda uses in all their cars now lasts about 100,000 miles.
