apocalypse is correct. it's the magnesson(sp?)-moss warranty act. it's the federal law that says that a manufacturer must prove an aftermarket part was directly responsible for failure to void warranty, that requirements to use oem filters or fluids to keep warranty must result in free filters/fluids, and that the manufacturer can't void warranty if work is performed (properly) at a non-dealer shop, or by yourself, and that they can't require you to provide proof of regular oil changes if you do self maintinance.
as for pre-mix being better than distilled water properly mixed with the correct type of coolant, that doesn't make any sense. that perstone max life is probably just as good as honda stuff. who knows when the pre-mix part of the pre mix happens anyways? it'd be much cheaper for honda to ship half-full bottles of coolant to dealers than to already have them filled. in that case, who knows if the dealer will spring for distilled water?
