![]() Kit, I am reluctant to comment or reply on those two statements above, and at the risk of "stepping into it".I will proceed. ![]() So Prestone coolant is fine for your bike, or any other vehicle with an aluminum engine. ![]() When one takes a vehicle anywhere to have work done it is all about the money, not the repair or professional service it is all about options and the choice of just how bad you wish to be ripped off. Lol! ARRGGGG.I just pulled the transmission out of a Honda SUV and repaired it, the fluids to fill it up again and a filter were right at 99 bucks, using generic brands of course, it would have been twice that with real genuine Honda fluids and filter.Ī few of us do all of our own work on all vehicles we became disgusted with the professionals whom demonstrate time and time again it would be better to let a trained monkey do the work. It is simply insulting to ones intelligence to pay 8 to 12 bucks per quart for HONDA coolant when one can purchase an entire gallon of perfectly good coolant for 12 bucks.Īll that stuff adds up especially if one has more than one vehicle, I have 11 of them. 338 Lapua for that one shot on an elk, or you can pay 2 bucks for Federal ordinary ammo, the elk will not care, it will be just as tasty regardless of the brand ammo used to take it with. One can for instance pay 12 bucks for one super perfect round of. And or have components in them that require a better silicate free coolant. I do thank you for sharing the above info for all the members to be informed.I have read the bottle and it is silicate free, as a matter of fact to find coolant with silicate in it would be hard to do, as almost all vehicle engines now are aluminum. For me, I have no problem making the decision to pay for the Honda coolant, and that is what I will use. Most importantly, as we ALL know.we are each in control of our own bikes, and our own decisions. I would have to read the back of the bottle to assure that. The issue with GL1800 engines is not the use of Phosphates or Borate, but the inclusion of Silicates in the coolant, which can become abrasive to the waterpump. Other than the one bold, in the text you have above, I see nothing on the bottle itself that would state it is silicate free. Richard, that is a good explanation of Phosphates, and how that relates to water from Europe. * DEX-COOL® is a registered trademark of General Motors Corporation. Prestone®Extended Life 50/50 Antifreeze/Coolant has been approved by General Motors under their DEX-COOL®specifications and is compatible with other DEX-COOL® approved coolants. This coolant uses a special chemistry and technology that extends the life of the corrosion inhibitor package so that it lasts for five years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first), and is safe for all cars and light trucks (old or new). For those consumers who would feel more comfortable using a phosphate-free antifreeze, our Prestone®Extended Life 50/50 Antifreeze/Coolant is phosphate, silicate, and borate free. Prestone® Antifreeze/Coolant is completely safe for use in both foreign and domestic vehicles. Therefore, the question of phosphates is a non-issue here in North America. Typical North American coolants have contained phosphates (which is part of the corrosion inhibitor package) for many years. However, in North America we do not have this type of water problem. If you were to mix an antifreeze that contained phosphates with the type of water they have in Europe, it may produce deposits that can settle in the cooling system and promote corrosion. This issue is related to the extremely high mineral content of the water in Europe. Q: Does Prestone® Antifreeze/Coolant contain phosphates?Ī: Some European automobile manufacturers request that a phosphate-free antifreeze be used in their vehicles. Here is the prestone stuff.silicate and borate free per prestone: ![]()
