Alright , I'm still Backin Maxvla... (even though I can't pronounce his damn Nick)

People are getting Paid lots of money here! Damnit they need to be making better products! EVERY industry has a few different consumer Basis,

POOR AND GHETTO, Sometimes I'll use the good stuff, and I want the Best,

Everyone on this board most likely falls under I want the best, at least for their car, or else they wouldn't be reading this board.

The auto industry is Growing... big time ... NasCar is BOOMING ... (though i still can't watch it) ... and More and more Company's are paying lots of money to get their name on a winning Car. The ones that pay off are the Auto related products that WIN Races !

So If I'm making an auto product, no matter what it is, A High quality Product with its label slapped onto a Winning Car = $$$$$

If I have to make 9 products to do this, so be it, no big deal,
Keep the cheap stuff for Wal-Mart Shoppers
Make Better Stuff, for the Middle Consumer
Make 7 different versions of the Best stuff to suit all the different kinds of Engine parts.

Example ... I work at Home Depot, we have 12 different types of mortar for setting Ceramic Tile... All made by the SAME Company, that company does NOT make Ceramic Tile, All these different mortars do the Same thing , just in different strengths and for different Applications. This company has Successfully sold products to all levels of Consumers and Dominated the market for the entire US. Although it is not difficult for any other company to produce these Products.

Any Manufacturer that wants to be successful, HAS to keep these guidelines. I can NOT believe that any Company can stay in business selling only the a Bottom end product, Especially a product for $4 that eveyone only buys once a year!

This is not a rhetorical question, this is basic stuff you can learn in MacroEconomics 101 ....

And you can not simply SETTLE an Argument with Evidence that only comes from Honda... What do these other Companies say about their products ? I'm sure they test them too... I'm sure they also list their ingredients some where.

Sorry I went off Track a little, but it's all relevent and pretty easy to follow.

And this Mixing with other Coolants bit. Oil mixes w/ oil, and latex w/ latex... Coolant is one or the other, I won't pretend to know with one, but I know you Dont use an Oil based Coolant this year and throw in Latex Based next Year. So you cant Say... they need to make a product that will mix........ You cant stop it from mixing! And shelf life ??? What is the Shelf life of these products ?? I rather doubt even Honda's is under a Year, and It is not the Companies responsibility to Maintain shelf life, it is the Retailers... If it does not sell before Shelf life expires... ORDER LESS next time. If their is any damage it will be the retailers fault, not the company. And Nothing sits to long on the shelf at Wal-mart.

Therefore, BDC... I admire your persistence, But your original statement still has flaws, even though I Believe you that Honda's product is better. I can't let you simply trash talk a whole industry.

Your Turn
