Coolant - AlumaCool or Honda Pro HP?

dougster · 08-01-2009, 09:59 AM

Is one of these any better than the other? Or will both do the job just as well?

I'm sure either is fine. I have AlumaCool in mine right now.

I replaced the coolant yesterday in my Goldwing with the Honda HP. $30 for 5 qts. WOW
How much is the AlumaCool a gallon?

Is the Honda stuff premixed? I think a qt of AlumaCool was about $8, but you have to mix it with distilled water, so it makes 2 quarts.

Yes, the Honda HP coolant is pre-mixed. That's what I've used in all of my previous water cooled bikes.

Yep the Honda is pre mixed it's what I used after I did the flush from gadget's page. Bout time to do a change again.

Maxima Coolanol, already pre-mixed and ready to go.

Prestone 50/50 will also do it. less than $10 for a whole gallon.

I found the alumacool for around $5 for 32 oz (2 qts) and the HP for around $4 a quart online. ($7 flat rate shipping).
