Default Honda made their coolant blue

I went to the dealership earlier today to pick-up a gallon of coolant. The sales ref. was telling me, honda change the coolant color to blue. Odd, I guess everyone likes the blue color. So honda decied to make it blue? Eh, food for a thought.

right now my coolant is straight ethylene glycol, no water added. the only thing I buy from the dealer is tranny fluid. and parts that no on else has like $5 each tappet nuts.

You do realize anti-freeze itself sucks at storing heat and transferring it? Water has an excellent heat transfer coefficient....better to have more water than ethylene-glycol...but hey, it's your motor.
