What is Honda coolant made of?

Honda Coolant Composition
Honda coolant is available in various types and colors, and the specific type of coolant required for a Honda vehicle can be found in the owner’s manual or by consulting a Honda trained service technician. The coolant used in Honda vehicles is a mixture of ethylene glycol and water, with minimal additives. It is designed to provide long-term corrosion protection to all metal and non-metal parts of the cooling system and protect against boil over and freezing. The Honda Genuine Longlife Blue Antifreeze/Coolant is a pre-mixed formulation that does not require coolant service for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. It is important to use the recommended coolant to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent potential damage to the cooling system.
Please note that the specific composition of Honda coolant may vary depending on the type and brand of coolant used. It is always recommended to refer to the owner’s manual or consult a Honda trained service technician for the correct type of coolant to use in a Honda vehicle.
