    Going OEM with antifreeze is a requirement, AFAIC. Too many
    reports of failing water pumps when not using OEM
    antifreeze. If you must roll the dice, you could use the
    orange Havoline anti-freeze. I have used it in my 91 Civic
    since 2002, with three changes with same since then.

    I am sold on Honda's manual transmission fluid. See
    http://honda.lioness.googlepages.com/manualtrannyfluid.

    Google this group's archives for chat on the auto
    transmission fluid. Though I am pretty sure OEM automatic
    tranny fluid is also recommended around these parts.

    I write this as one of those frugal car maintaining people
    who often tried aftermarket with her 91 Civic in the 1990s.
    Today I know certain OEM parts etc. pay for themselves.
