FWIW all of the vehicles built by GM have had distilled water for years in
production.
That was how they had the original fairly long time/milage till anti freeze
change. Unfortunately thats when the problems start. What water did what
party use at the change time or the first time your engine was worked on or or or
...I've seen local water in areas of the country that would eat up a sink
faucet in a year, and someone put that stuff in an engine. Once this has been done
the advantage of the distilled use is forever lost.
BTW there are/were two types of anti freeze recommended (now three with the
orange stuff 1996 & >) depended on whether the engine was all cast iron, or
had aluminum componants etc.
Any additional on my part would have to get to detailed.
Regards, Carl Hibbard
