Yo.
I so scare lah.
If topup coolant reservior with distilled water, this water will eventually flow to the Radiator, any possible side effect or not?
I know the distilled water is "clean" water vs the tap water, so, should not have any big issue right?
Saturday, i just topup my coolant reservior to the "Max" level by using tap water at my house in Msia in the morning before i warm up the car, abt 1inch to the Max level, not much....
Regards.

As mentioned, distilled water is better to avoid oxidation in the radiator in the long run. But if wanna top up just for a fast run, tap water is alright as long the coolant content is there. Dun brood so much about this and you can get distilled water quite convenient and it not expensive. ;)
CustomGolf:
Have been driving for 28 years, some of you might not have not been born and I have always been using normal tap water for radiator. Oxidation will still occur even if you're using distilled water. Tap water on the other hand might have some minerals in it but it's there in small quantity so it will not harm your radiator as long as coolant is present.
NSman:
is there a ratio of mixing pure coolen water with distilled/tap water?? 80/20 or 50/50? or full coolen water.
who knows?
