Is it really that important that your coolant be silicate free? I was reading about it and it seems like only Honda are picky about this

I want to drain and refill my coolant. What do you recommend using?? And where to get it from...

in Greece the genuine fluid costs me around 28e

I read online on a forum that because we have an aluminium radiator, aluminium cylinder head and the design of the water pump seal, we need to have it silicate free, or the water pump seal will fail and additionaly it will slowly (over a long period of time) erode away the aluminium parts

But then a couple of guys and this mechanic I spoke to said theyve never heard of this

i suppose the genuine fluid covers this spec, right?Do you know otherwise?
