  • The Great Coolant Debate | ITB Episode 147

    What’s the best type of water to use when diluting your coolant – tap, distilled, or deionized? In this episode of Inside the Brands, we’ll break down how each option affects your vehicle’s cooling system.

    Spoiler alert: most OEMs and coolant manufacturers, like Pentosin, recommend deionized water for maximum performance. Watch as we explain why deionized water is the preferred choice for better performance and corrosion protection.

    Featuring Pentosin’s Pentofrost PREDILUTED Antifreeze, which uses deionized water in a perfect 50/50 mix that meets or exceeds OEM and ASTM requirements, making it the best choice for your vehicle’s cooling system.

    What you’ll learn:
    – The pros and cons of using tap, distilled, and deionized water to dilute coolant.
    – Why deionized water prevents corrosion better than other options.
    – How Pentosin’s prediluted antifreeze provides a worry-free solution for all cooling systems.

    Watch now to discover how choosing the right type of water can extend your engine’s life and ensure top performance for your vehicle.
