I was told from one of my instractors that Asian cars should have the coolent reflush every 3 years and to use only what the manufacture recommends.

Mine gets flushed every 2 yrs, best to stick with green stuff from Mitsubishi. By the way how can it possibly dried up unless a leak?

I haven't touch that crap for 3 yrs....never flush it and never bother to refill...I guess its just time for it to run out I guess...

I use OEM with this:

RedLine Water Wetter. Works pretty good. Use it in all of my cars without any issues. You probably don't _NEED_ to use it, but it couldn't hurt!

I use OEM coolant.
Mitsubishi and Honda have coolant with phosphates and no silicates. Ordinary green stuff does have silicates.
Silicate coolant will destroy water pumps in both cars.

I know this because of things that happened to my parents cars.
