What do you mean by rinse? With distilled water pa rin ba although di na pupunuin yung rad? Sorry got a bit confused there. Btw still planning to use OEM Toyota Long Life Coolant.

I think pwede na drain and fill na lang...

So what is the point of this thread then? Distilled water, is water in its purest (and cleanest) form.

aside from cooling down your engine remember that coolant has an anti-rust property to protect your radiator.

i still prefer the distilled water... pag galing sa maynilad mataas chlorine content, tapos madame din sediments...
i think mineral water sa water stations pwede na provided na mag coolant ka..

It helps to flush. By rinse I mean rinse with clean tap water. The OEM long life coolants are pretty reliable. Not the best but better than most aftermarket products.

don't use mineral water.. kasi may minerals yan.. dapat distilled... never use tap water... kasi may maiwan na residue dyan... buy distilled kahit yung sa SM bonus....

Sir the minerals doon sa mineral water sa mga refilling stations ay super baba na talaga as in ppm count na,.... The amount cannot be compared sa tap water ng maynilad na pati sediments visually nakikita ng mata...

Point is by demonstration of an extreme situation is what NOT to do. Distilled is the other end of the extreme and is pretty much a placebo.

Use bottled water if and when the water in your locality is very hard. Distilled water really does nothing but provide peace of mind. Then again it is your money, go knock yourselves out.
