What's the difference between Honda type II coolant vs zerex Asian blue. Honda says change every 2 years or 30k. Why? Zerex every 5 years or 150k. What's different?
 
Been a while, but as I recall, my Accord said 100k for the first change and then 60k after that. Likely because it isn't a flush, just a drain and fill.

I've got the Zerex in both my Honda vehicles and it will stay in there until their timing belt changes unless I see something that makes me want to change it.
 
If you're doing a flush and fill, you need a full strength version like Peak sells if you want the original freeze protection since you won't drain all the water out.
 
Honda has the maintenance minder for coolant, so you just change it when code 5 comes up on the MM :)

You do not have to change it every 2 years or 25k. That's probably the dealer trying to scam you :sneaky:
