Default Honda Coolant Required?

As the topic states, do I need to use Honda Coolant or can I use an aftermarket type, Pros/Cons and what do you use?

Thanks

you can use whatever coolent as long as you dont over heat. 50/50 water and ethylene glycol. personally i wouldnt use expensive honda fluid its the same just paying for the name.

I just use the stuff from parts source or napa (what ever my works got). Yeah mix it 50/50 like said above, and make sure that you get regular coolent (green in colour) not dexcool (red/pink in colour)
