the 02 S2000 I bought last year was 7 years old at the time and had the original coolant. I drained it after getting the car and was amazed how clean the radiator was when empty. There wasn't one spec of build up or corrosion anywhere, it could have passed as a new rad by the way it looked. That's enough to keep me using it into the future.
Agreed, from what I have gathered from several sources, the Honda stuff is very good.

The original fluid in earlier Ap1's is emerald green. Just so no one checks theirs and freaks out. I thought I had straight coolant until I gauged it.

My opinion: If it's just a little low add distilled water. I buy OEM Honda fluid because buying a gallon every decade isn't too big of a hit to my wallet in my opinion. Inside of my cooling passages look spotless too.
