QUOTE(fabianz03 @ Sep 15 2016, 08:58 AM) Do people still use regular water for their radiator these days? Get some legit coolant, prevents rusting and better efficiency too, don't have to change so often. distilled, tap water will cause mineral deposit

Just drain everything and get a good coolant, you don't even need to check at all if there's no leak

never put water, going to ruin your radiator especially for newer modern car always use coolant. coolant also cheap now or during emergency can use distilled or RO water....dont use tap or mineral water, even worse
heed my advice

as long as its between full n empty level its fine. can add bit of water once in a while coz its normal for the level in d coolant reservoir to drop a bit.
but dun add too much tho coz once the engine is on n heats up, it might over flow out of the reservoir. there is a tube coming out of the reservoir just for that purpose.

check every 1 week for coolant, if still in allowable range, ignore it, usually will drop bit by bit.. coolant water who know, can leak here there,evaporated..
