Coolant/Water Mix

Heard that you can't use distilled w/ G-05 coolants. So what can I use-spring, tap, or RO?

Don't believe everything you hear.
I have used traditional coolant for 500,00 miles on my 2nd gen with no issues and 255,000 miles on my 3rd gen with no issues.
If you have low miles consider Evans coolant.It controls the heat spiking alot better than the water based coolant.

So does this mean you should not use Evens if you have a lot of miles?

Guess im in trouble then...

I run Zerez G-05 and distilled water 50/50 mixed. Why would that be a problem?
