I asked the distilled water question at a Massey Ferguson dealer. He said that to avoid cooling system problems, they always use distilled water. Every tractor that gets the antifreeze changed gets a coolant conditioner added. This conditioner is labled FW-15 and is from New Holland. It should be a ratio of 5% coolant conditioner to cooling fluid. Some antifreezes already have some of this conditioner added. For antifreeze, they use Shell Zone all season antifreeze coolant protection. It says: Corrosion protection for engine metals, including Aluminum. Low Silicate content for heavy duty diesel engines. The antifreeze was $5.50 per gallon and the conditioner was almost $5. I am going that route plus distilled water for my Perkins diesel.
