I agree, don't by the 50/50 mix...it does cost more if you do the math.

Also plan to dilute with distilled water to prevent mineral formation.

My coolant fans also kicks on and off for about a minute after I shut the engine off?

Not sure why, or if it is normal. Any suggestions for both of us who mentioned this happening.

Thanks fellas :)

About the fan running on after...

Up to 1997 Accords, there's a 2nd fan-switch, located in the nozzle of the UPPER radiator hose. That can switch on one of the fans after the engine is shut off. It runs through a timer so the fan doesn't run forever if the switch fails.

Beginning in 1998, Accords don't do that.

dexcool is more specific to GM vehicles.

i recommend not using it. it sludges up the cooling system if not regularly flushed.
