I don't want to tell people how to spend their money but for a couple of dollars more you can get the Honda type 2 car coolant and vanish all your worries
I would, but the closest Honda car dealer is over an hour away!

No such luck here.$8 dollars a gallon at ACE less than a mile from my house.
Been using it in ST’s for years.
The money saved goes into gas and riding.
Interestingly enough is a large (german based) european motorcycle(!) outlet chain ( https://www.louis-moto.co.uk/ ) not even really offering "silicate free" in their house-branded coolants... the correct stuff to use should read: SILICATE & PHOSPHATE FREE FORMULA...
Do they have an ingredient list on the back?I was pleasantly surprised that my local multi brand dealer has View attachment 291666
You may be correct, I couldn't see the picture that well on my phone, but on the computer I'm only seeing silicate-free.I thought you'd already stated silicate-free is only half the battle, phosphate-free being the other half, which that Honda coolant doesn't claim.
BTW, when I looked online the ACE stuff is apparently $11.99 these days, so if you're still picking it up for $8 they haven't heard about the price increase yet. Good find on that, I'm disappointed to find that Prestone reworked all of their stuff and the generic extended life 5/150 stuff that I used last isn't the same thing it used to be. Now they have all these Asian/European/NorthAmerican versions instead and silicate-free/phosphate-free doesn't seem to be mentioned on any one version.
They changed the packaging. Last gallon I bought was blue and gray. But yeah it is what you want. A good deal which reminds me after my trips I need to also change my coolant.I was pleasantly surprised that my local multi brand dealer has the Honda type 2 cheaper than the top of the line Prestone HD which is nitrate free but doesn’t mention silicates? The Prestone was on sale but $2 more than Honda stuff, woohee,
guess what I picked.

Unless changing the packaging means they changed the formula (think oil) and its no longer safe for your engine.They changed the packaging. Last gallon I bought was blue and gray. But yeah it is what you want. A good deal which reminds me after my trips I need to also change my coolant.
Hey, that blue dye must be expensive ....This is true, the Honda type 2 is simply the same stuff everyone else uses with the proper formula (silicate & phosphate free) except they add blue dye to it, and charge twice as much money
