Does it matter to run distilled or not for strictly flushing?

Also I'm kind of curious about the heater core.. It'd be rather difficult to flush that with distilled.

>for strictly flushing

Doubt it. Tap water won't be in there long enough to do anything bad.

>coolant mix

Unless you have some really funky, full of minerals tap water, distilled water isn't necessary. Coolants have additives to keep reasonable amounts of minerals and stuff in solution.

It's like Fram vs Wix, distilled is still ultra cheap, might as well use distilled.

We have fairly soft water here.

I'm assuming because less contaminants able to enter in the system overall.

Wix oil filters are only a few bucks more expensive than Fram filters, but are vastly superior in construction.

Rather than trying to save a few bucks by using a Fram filter, or in this case using non-distiller water, spend a little bit extra for the peace of mind of using the better product for the job.

Just use tap, i got a 50/50 mix of tap and ethanol glycol and its fine, lasted last winter and i plan on it lasting this

For flushing nothing will happen, remember to run the engine without a thermostat to get a full flush, dont be autistic about it

Empty the sustem, and fill it back up with tap water.
Then pour in a liter of vinegar and run it for 2 days before flushing.

I usually buy 2 gallons of distilled water to flush 3 times, then I put the 50/50 mix
