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

• 怎么可以加纯净水？是害车， 纯净水是过滤水，要加就加蒸馏水，最好是oem, 这样不破坏比例 -坚茂- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 10:21:25

• 我说的"纯净水" 是指不含矿物质的水. 何况加点任何水又有多大关系. -我胡说八道- ♂ (143 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 10:28:00

• 纯净水一般指反渗水，只含氢氧氟三元素，无矿物质。 -周老大- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2014 postreply 22:40:14
