Every two weeks is suffice. Cannot trust those mechanics at service centre, sometimes they skipped the fluid check routine.

I hope you dont just add water to your coolant. Long term, your water Pump will be rusty and engine will overheat. I already kena for my car. Long term it will affect alot of things around the cooling system, radiator, water pump, sensors, etc etc

Add "air suling" or de-ionized water + coolant with good mixing ratio

Florescent green... no change. Honda's coolant should last up to 200,000km / 10 years. thumbup.gif

In fact, mine is due for a complete change. Haven't hand any free time yet to do it.

Do people still use regular water for their radiator these days?
Get some legit coolant, prevents rusting and better efficiency too, don't have to change so often.

Bawah pokok mechanic will tell you different. Don't use coolant, say will eat the metal

It's the job of the ppl who service your car, btw u don't need to directly add water into rad, just add into the spare tank, it will sucks water in itself when it's cold. When hot pressure goes up, no water coming out but water can goes missing, when cold pressure lower than outside, will sucks water from tank.
