and not the green it used to be. Supposedly is the same chemistry minus the die.

Helped a friend change out a leaky rad in a 98 civic ex, and bought some coolant as well as replaced the thermo while it was all drained.

The new blue coolant has quite a bit less 'smell' than the original long life type2 green coolant, but perhaps used coolant does pick up this 'smell' after a while.

$10.48 for 50/50 honda coolant wasnt so bad, its nothing compared to the 50/50 of audi/vw fluid at $19+ a gallon.
 
I like the new blue-green stuff.

In fact I'll probably change it out at 5yr/60K (half the recommended distance) just so I get a chance to mess with it.
