uh, yeah it does. It's still 50% distilled water. Most antifreezes have lower freeze points. It's freeze point is like -26 F, so unless you race antartica you are safe.

The 50% water is actually a benefit... a mixture of 50% water and 50% coolant has a lower freezing temperature than 100% coolant.

Oh yeah for sure... Cyclelogic Engine Ice is the best shit out IMHO

Ebbs... if you read your owners manual... it always says distilled only. It has to do with corrosion and shit and the alum system.

Emphasise the distilled water, tap is BAD for RC's. The water pump impeller is made out of plastic, and the impurities in tap water will destroy it.

Ebbs, the difference between his Honda and your truck are that his bike is a homologation race bike with a plastic water pump impeller and your truck is a truck with a metal impeller.

Just replace it with Engine Ice. It won't freeze and it cools better than a 50/50 mix. $20 per jug. My bike only takes one jug.
RC's take almost 2
