    pre-mixed coolant isn't supposed to be added with water (may it be distilled or not), unless during emergency situations. if you are going to replace the tap water, use pre-mixed coolant until the radiator is full.

    You would want to drain it first before replacing the coolant.

    You would want to drain it first before replacing the coolant. Its not just a matter of topping up.

    hello...ask ko lang kung normal ba yung madaling maubos yung coolant doon sa coolant reservoir niya...napapansin ko kasi na ang bilis maubos yung coolant liquid niya.

    i don't think so.
    if the cooling system works fine, that reservoir won't need any top-up for a long time.
    i haven't added coolant in my vehicles in over a year now. one of them is 10 years old (topped up once or twice only, from new)... one is 1.5 years old (still haven't topped up)..
    look for leaks. look for under-performing aux fans. look for dirty radiator exterior.
    err... what vehicle, po?
