"Using distilled water will increase the radiator's susceptibility to damage as distilled water is not electrochemically balanced; it is stripped of impurities and therefore ionically hungry, which will cause it to attack soft metals more aggressively. Drinking, spring, or softened are the recommended water types for use in a radiator, particularly in racing applications."
Doesn't make sense to me, what do you guys think? [/B]

they probably meant to say "deionized" instead of "distilled". Distilled water is probably ideal, "deionized" is indeed stripped of ions and as such will attempt to electrochemically balance itself by removing metallic ions from what it is in contact with, and if that is the cooling system of your car, it basically doesn't care.
