Battery Water

[iagree]

actually distilled water is used to top-up battery and so it is usually called battery water

however, in other thread, some prefer to use distilled water to also top up the radiator in the belief that it will not cause rusting
fyi, I had not topped up the water for the radiator/reservoir for almost 4 years for my previous car as the level had been near max for long time

ic. thanks for explaining. appreciate that.

oh, your car is so powerful.

hi silver

i confirmed mine has no leakage too.
i topup my coolant reservior to "max level" (abt 1inch from the level to max level), with tap water.

if confirmed that distilled water can be used and it's better/BEST for coolant reservior and RADIATOR, then i will spend man!!!

regards.

tap water is just water with some minerals

rust formation (oxidation) occurs when you have metals, water and oxygen present

coolant (the green stuff) usually contain rust inhibitors

so it is okay to use clean tap water instead of distilled water unless you "tong poh" your car .......

Btw, got confused, the thread topic from battery water to coolant liao. haha

Hi Silver,

Oh, no tong poh, so, just let it be liao, use tap water!!!

Guys, confirmed liao, use TAP WATER to topup for our Coolant reservior.

In fact, we should topup through RADIATOR right? instead of Coolant Reservior?
