Does it really matter which coolant you use?
I was going to stop by auto zone right now to fill up.

is it ok to use this Honda blue coolant?

At 15K miles and almost 2 years mine lost all fluid in the reservoir as well, don't know how long it's been low, sorta shocked.

My resevoir went bone dry last week, i jacked my car up to inspect, no signs of leak at all, its a mystery....

And this is why I think there is more to the coolant issues than the system burping itself after delivery or it all just evaporated/or spilled out the top of the overflow tank....

Please keep us updated with what happens...

Does seem odd. I've heard of cars with 250K loosing coolant from worn gasket, but is that even possible with a new engine?

Bad head gasket seal or design problems in new motors are very possible...in fact the Subaru EJ motors are notorious for it....

BRZnut 04-26-2014 08:20 PM
what was the outcome with their EJ engine...did they have a recall or just deny it was an issue.
