2015 RT - What Anti freeze besides BRP's brand is safe to use?

What antifreeze is safe to use besides the BRP brand on a 2015 Can Am Spyder RT?

Honda blue premix from your local Honda auto dealer in gallon containers... don't buy pints from Honda M/c stealers. It's been used in all Honda cars and bikes for years, around $23/gal

I wouldn't add the Honda blue unless you have done a complete flush of the BRP OEM coolant.

Mixing different brands of coolants doesn't usually end up well.

Plz do NOT mix different coolant colors. Will gum up entire system! Can dilute& just add water(preferably distilled) whatever brand just so is safe for aluminum. If can’t find matching color-drain & flush with water then add new. There is a drain plug on radiator, have been multiple reports of it snapping can also remove lower hose if have replacement strap oem usually has to be cut. Hope this helps**flushing can be done with tap water -catch & dispose per EPA properly **

I have done 2 drain and refills in my 2015 RT. Both times I used NAPA 50/50 Prediluted Antifreeze & Coolant. Has a green label. Works just fine. Get at any NAPA auto parts store.

And don’t rely on colors to assume the two coolants are of the same type. The same colors usually mean the same type, but not always.

Best to read the specification in the handbook and match specifically by equivalent type unless you are draining and flushing completely.
