I killed 3 Integra water pumps with green Prestone in 1991 or
thereabouts. One failed in a mere 6 weeks. Certain death. Isn't it
interesting that Prestone has never admitted the problem. Can you say
"class action."

On the other hand, I changed my 1996 I30t to Dexcool at 37,000 miles.
Pump seal failed at 93,000. Not an outstanding life, and not what I
hoped for, but not terrible. Suffice to say that I do not believe
that Dexcool will "extend" pump life, although this is Texaco's
position.

Never the less, I would not use anything other than genuine Honda
coolant in a Honda product. Partially because I learned from my
Integra experience just how easy it is to screw up a Honda pump. It
isn't worth a few extra bucks to go experimenting.
