Anyone else run anything other than Honda brand coolant in there scooters?

I use Toyota Super Long Life coolant, it is pink in color, contains no silicates and always stays clean looking, unfortunately people sometimes confuse it with Dexcool ( and its negative reputation) due to its color.


The really great advantage to using this coolant is it's leak find characteristic, it will leave pink crust deposits anywhere there is a microscopic leak, it will pinpoint leaks that are naked to the eye and so small they dont even need to be addressed.


The other reason I use it as I always get free leftovers from a local dealership, I would probably purchase it anyway, now that I know how good it works.

I got my pre-mixed, silicate-free coolant from Ace Hardware. There's a good chance they're the same stuff in different jugs.

A small bottle of wetter than water keeps the system clean and lowers temp 5 degrees.
