Distilled water?

[batusai_jr]

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.

Just buy the premixed coolant for less headache.

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.

Near the water pump area ang ingay mahina lang parang air rustling in ang tunog Sir. Tinanong ko ang mekaniko kung anong ingay, sabi niya water pump. Ngayon nawala nang maglagay ako ng 500ml na Petromate.

Baka water pump beearing na yan bro. How old is your car? Water pumps are cheap and are easily replaceable. Have it checked na lang.

gaano ba katagal dapat bago ko palitan ng tubig at coolant or gaano kadalas dapat magdagdag ng coolant? w

oo nga good question sir batusai_jr.....

sana may sumagot....

[robot.sonic]

Based sa nabasa ko sa manual ng oto ko, after 10 years daw palitan yung original na coolant. Kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko. Basahin mo manual ng oto mo. Nakalagay ata yan don.

Sa pag dadagdag, makikita mo naman kung kulang na yung coolant mo. Dagdag ka na. Kung madalas ka nagdadagdag ng coolant, baka may problema yung radiator mo.

[meledson]

pag distilled water lang ang gamit. kung nagkakaroon na ng kulay kalawang, maganda pa ma flush at mapalitan bago magkaroon ng bara.

pag coolant, puwede ito ng mga 40,000 to 100,000 km. pero depende sa coolant.

iyong toyota long life coolant na pre mixed, parang good ito for 80,000 KM or more.

normally, hindi dapat masyadong nagbabawas ng coolant. pag nagbabawas either may leak or palitin na ang radiator cap.

according to my 2004 Altis owner's manual, replace coolant every 80k km with toyota recommended engine coolant.

[batusai_jr]

ah so matagal din pala bago palitan yung coolant... i am not sure if this is a dumb question pero for confirmation lang...

saan ba talaga dapat nilalagay yung coolant? dun sa radiator or dun sa plastic container na nakalagay na coolant? naguguluhan kasi ako... ang pagkakaintindi ko kasi dun sa plastic container pumupunta yung coolant na dapat ng itapon... pasensya na ha hindi kasi ako ganun karunong sa kotse..

[raine]

dapat yan halos di ka na nagdadagdag ng coolant/water di mo ng pansin na nagbabawas ito, pag parati kang nagdadagdag check mo meron leak somewere; ang replacemnt naman abot ng 2yrs depende sa ginamit mo yung caltex na long life coolant mas matagal pa.
