    Hi i've read an article in a newspaper saying that we using "Distilled Water" plus coolant in the radiator is better than using "Tap Water"

    My question is what kind of Distilled Water to be used? the one that we drink like wilkins, absolute etc or the one that is used in batteries?

    I could really use some enlightening here... thanks

    wag kang gagamit ng pure coolant, baka naman ang ibigmong sabihin yung ready to use na ( pre mix) .

    Ingat lang din sa pure coolant as it may eat through your seals.

    You can try Shell distilled water, 25pesos per liter. multi-purpose na sya, i use it sa battery, radiator and sometimes sa pang-mix sa wiper fluid additive.

    Purified is better than using ordinary tap water but adding coolant is highly recommended. It not only aids in bringing the temperature down, it also lubricates the water pump thus prolonging its lifespan.

    Nang hindi na ako nagmimix ng coolant with distilled water, pure distilled water na lang as my engine coolant parang umiingay ang water pump ko.
