[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 137859, member: 232"] u must understand wat causes rust aka oxidation. OXYGEN itself! therefore, water in any form will cause oxidation/rusting. besides, there's no truth in saying distilled water has better cooling efficiency or prevent rusting coz distilled water(pure H20) has boiling point of 100 celsius where else 'tampered' water with all those minerals and other particles have a slightly higher boiling point. just a simple experiment. if u boil distilled water and test the temp, u will find its close to 100 celsius where else u try boil water with some salt in it, u will find the temp boil at 120 celsius more or less. now we talk about coolant. its essentially the liquid that jacks up the boiling point of water and therefore ur car stays cool. plus it prevents rust from forming but u must bear in mind it minimises, not eliminates. u will find that even with coolant, your radiator and other internal parts will still suffer from rust, moreover if the coolant content is already low inside. a point to note though, coolant does not remove rust, it just minimises the rust and prevents it from rusting further.
