    It depends on the car. You could make a new thread about it. I'm just familiar with my type of engine for my w123 300D that has a block drainage for the coolant. Maybe others have it, maybe not. In case you have one in your car it's good to have it drained there.

    Just don't go about removing nuts and bolts...

    just add coolant first then distilled water, both will be mixed inside after you've run the engine..

    1. Unless your car is aircooled like old school VW's or Porsches, you will need coolant to increase the boiling point and have a higher margin of safety.
    2. Find a new mechanic.
    3. He probably said that so your car will not last as long and you will take it to him.

    That's why these forums exist so people will know better and not just rely blindly on others' advice, mechanic man or hindi. Mechanic ba talaga (with certification, license, etc) or no real way to authenticate him?

    Thanks for the reply. Nagsisimula pa lang ako matuto pag dating sa car.

    Matino naman yung mechanico. Sya yung nagpalit ng timing belt ko a year ago. Marami din nagpapagawa dun sa talyer and ang laki ng talyer.

    Never pa ako gumamit ng coolant sa car ko. Puro tubig talaga. Never pa napalitan yung Water Pump.(hindi ko sinabay sa pag palit ng timing belt kasi gusto makita kung aabot pa sa sunod na timing belt change.)

    Mga 89,000 kms na natakbo na car sa 10 years. Honda Civic VTI

    Pero tataka ako dun sa Lancer GLXI 97 namin na naka-coolant. Mas mababa pa kms kaysa car ko pero palit water pump na agad nung dumating sa 50,000kms.

    Bakit ganun yun nangyari?

Coolant...
