Hi guys.
In a bit of a dilemma. Checked the reserve tank on my 55 plate EP3 yesterday and it was completely empty. I unscrew the radiator cap and the coolant level is still visible, so I don't think any damage has been caused yet. However, this is where it all goes wrong (I think...)
I looked online for the correct coolant to use and I was told that "Honda Type 2 Readymix" is what needs to be used. It also said online that this is GREEN in colour. I assumed that I already had this coolant in the radiator at the moment as it was also green.
My dad went into my local Honda dealer and asked for some Honda Type 2 Readymix. They gave him 2 litres, however it is BLUE. (!?) He then proceeded to fill up my reserve tank with the blue Honda coolant and ran the engine, so now I have both green and blue coolant in my radiator.
Can someone please tell me what damage may have been done? Or is it okay?
Also - Has Honda, by any chance, changed their Type 2 Readymix from green to blue recently!?
Thank you.
Sam
