Mixing coolant is fine if they are using the same base chemical. Honda & Toyota should be using same type of coolant so it is not an issue. If you are so worried then get it flushed and replace ori coolant. My advice is no need to be worried. There are 100x more cars out there using pipe water than mixing coolants. That it even worse and they still doing it. LOL...

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Sep 21 2020, 04:20 PM) To be honest, I never thought coolants were required until I gotten my current ride. Yup, the older generation only know to use tap water. Cause the old school pomen all teach people to use tap water. The reason you need to top up constantly is because tap water will evaporate faster than coolant. As information become easier to access, we start to learn that tap water is not the correct thing to do. Coolant is the right thing to use. So it's a matter of time when using tap water is no longer common.Cos all this while was using old conti cars, and I needed to top up 'water' every few days of use... Maybe awareness wasn't there. My dad taught me to ensure the coolant tank is always full... Few times already my car overheated whilst driving. Not sure if it was due to the usage of 'water'. Can water substitute proper coolant liquid? Thankfully the coolant levels on my P2 is relatively stable and doesn't drop that much! I check it almost every 2-3 weeks cos phobia after my previous incidents with my older cars.   |
