Need Coolant Advice for 03 Honda CRV

[Carlostrece]

I live on the OR, WA border. The coldest weather I've ever known of here was 8F.

The following are OE Asian Blue choices that are locally available.

Prices per gallon...

50/50
Peak $19 at Walmart, $18 NAPA
Zerex $18 at Walmart, $20 Oreilly
Supertec $12 at Walmart *Great price!
NAPA $21

Concentrate
None at Walmart
Zerex $23 at Oreilly
Peak $23 Napa

Those ^ are my local choices for Asian Blue.

I love the Supertec 50/50 price, but how to get Supertec concentrate Asian Blue? Is Supertec as good as those others?

If I can't get Supertec concentrate from Walmart, then I'll get Peak concentrate from NAPA.

I already have a trip planned to go to NAPA & Walmart for other things. They're only 2 blocks apart from each other and only 15 blocks from my home.

Is super tech the actual Asian chemistry? I thought it was dexcool/some amam blend dyed blue?

I don't know what the Supertec Asian Blue chemistry is. Perhaps someone else can answer that.

I bought Peak Asian Blue.

The current version of the SuperTech Asian Blue 50/50% Extended Life coolant is made by Old World Industries (i.e., PEAK). I doubt it is any different from the PEAK packaged product in the blue bottle. Here is the SDS for the current SuperTech Asian Blue which does not list 2EHA as an ingredient. It is notable that the SuperTech yellow AMAM coolant does list 2EHA in the SDS.

Interesting. I bought 1 gallon of Peak Asian Blue concentrate, but if I need a gallon of 50/50 in future I'll buy Supertec Asian Blue because it's ridiculously low cost and you said it's made by Peak and has no 2EHA. Sold!

Peak's website product finder specifies Peak All Vehicles for 03 Honda CR-V. I wonder why it specifies Peak All Vehicles instead of Peak Asian Blue? I'm not doubting you guys though.

I'll buy an Asian Blue by Peak, Zerex, or Supertec. If those 3 brands are equally good, then I'll let price and availability decide what I buy and from whom. Since I already buy my oil at Walmart, it'd be convenient to buy coolant locally at Walmart.

I won't buy coolant or oil from Amazon because they have a bad history of damage in shipping causing leaking jugs.

A bit above it was identified that Supertech is actually Peak. So it doesn’t seem a bad option. So long as they don’t reblend it as some other product.

Thanks for the info.

I bought Peak Asian Blue concentrate at NAPA on 20% off sale.

If I need 50/50 in future, I'll buy Supertec 50/50.
