honda has the same blue coolant as nissan. they are interchangable with any normal green coolant or Prime coolant. blue is the coolest color!

You are right about that stuff, I had a water pump go out around 35k, now I drain out a gallon a year switching between Dexcool one year and distilled water the next. If you leave this stuff in for 2 or 3 years it gets crudey.
