Coolant

My 15-year old Civic's coolant in the white plastic resverve tank is at the bottom but the coolant in the radiator is full. Have not had coolant leaking issue for many year after I bought it 2nd hand. Checked the onwer's manual which says only Honda coolant should be added to the reserve tank to avoid corrosion damage to the alumminum engine. My question: is generic good quality commercial coolant ok for Civic, or Honda coolant is a must? Thanks

• Civic! 我會加點水(喝的純淨水就上好了)到那個小白罐裏. -我胡說八道- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 10:17:20

• 怎麽可以加純淨水？是害車， 純淨水是過濾水，要加就加蒸餾水，最好是oem, 這樣不破壞比例 -堅茂- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 10:21:25

• 我說的"純淨水" 是指不含礦物質的水. 何況加點任何水又有多大關係. -我胡說八道- ♂ (143 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 10:28:00

• "純淨水" 就是過濾水，過濾無法過濾礦物質 -堅茂- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 12:03:32

• 純淨水一般指反滲水，隻含氫氧氟三元素，無礦物質。 -周老大- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 22:40:14
