Short point:
VTM-4, or Dual pump, is very different then standard 80-90 gear oil.
"Green" eth. gly. coolant is only a few thousanths parts per million away from Honda "blue." It's fully compatible. I don't know who brainwashed you, but they did a damn good job.
Since you obviously don't know what you're talking about, I am finished with this.
I have been a tech working on Hondas and other makes for 20 years!
Your one year means NOTHING to me.
Shut your hole and learn something for a change
Join iATN.net and understand and learn instead of thinking I'm brainwashed. Learn what I'm talking about, and maybe YOU will really know what I'm talking about.
40,000 others who actually care to understand what goes into the cars, besides just attempting to fix them know a hell of a lot more than me and obviously yourself.
