I know I can drop in Zerex Asian Red or Blue and be good, but I am trying to figure out what is in there.
This was recently acquired as first car for step-son. Working through all little niggly details to get it 100%. Last few details were fluids and I found the radiator to have a very pale green coolant in it. Does not look like the old-school IAT green. Picture below does not show it well.
I found a reference on a Honda tech forum that in "the early days" Honda OAT was actually green, then the same formula was dyed blue and has stayed that way. Is anyone familiar with that, or exactly what color the (presumably) OAT was as a factory fill in 2003 Hondas?
I'd hope and guess this is not just IAT green and I could do a drain fill now, another later and be comfortable instead of doing a full flush with multiple fills/rinses with dH20.
