Low-quality coolant: It may not provide adequate protection against overheating and freezing, and it may lack necessary corrosion inhibitors, which can damage the engine over time.
Using plain water: Water alone can boil at a much lower temperature than coolant, leading to overheating. Additionally, untreated water can cause corrosion in the radiator and engine, leading to long-term damage.
Importance of genuine coolant: Genuine coolant is specifically designed for the Honda City’s engine and cooling system, offering better performance and protection.
