Assuming that you mean distilled water MIXED 50%/50% with the appropriate antifreeze/coolant? (see owners manual)
Using deionized, RO (reverse osmosis) or, bottled drinking water is also fine as long as it is mixed with the appropriate coolant.
Stay with only distilled water, bottled water can have minerals and DI or RO can have contaminants if not handled perfectly.
Oh please. So it's good enough to drink, (actually preferred) but not good enough to put in your radiator. Yeah right. Where did you take your chemistry classes? That's what I thought.
What do you think happens to distilled water when it comes in contact with common metals found in any cooling system? (rhetorical question) You need not answer.
