Just wondering what you folks are using in your engines?

I was just gonna grab some Peak or Prestone :unsure:
 
peak or prestone is what i have always used. and flush and change it ever two years or so.
 
distilled water might not be too bad, I get pure anti/anti as I think it's cheeper to use my own H2O
mix it 50/50...
 
It depends. Aluminum radiator? Do you need winter protection?

If you need both of the above then Zerex Asian Vehicle formula. Red or Blue. I use red in my Fusion.

If you don't need winter protection. Then use purified water ( not distilled, sorry Chad ) and 1 + 1/2 bottle of Kool It from Lubegaurd.

Most manufactures say that the distilling process does something to the water that may damage your radiator/engine if you have an aluminum head or radiator.

If there is no aluminum involved then distiled may be okay.

or green or yellow. I use the 'all purpose'...
o0OP, sorry, yeah - 'purified'.
 
Never gonna see cold weather...
But yes, I put in a brand new aluminum radiator and heater core, to go along with the clean block/head.

Still need anti/anti & the other additives it has (non corrosion from the H2O, etc) just as said above - get the correct
for ur system. Don't know? the multi-purpose will B the minimum. I like that you say "clean block"..."clean it" every few yrs (2-5) w/a flush product. New anti/anti.
