Where do I get Distilled Water?
My '02s almost 5 years old and I'd like to service the cooling system, But don't know where to go to get distilled H2O. Any one?

At your local supermarket water section. "Purified" is another named used also.
Here's a recent thread on the subject:

Make sure it says "Distilled", which means it has no disolved mineral or chemical deposits in it. Purified is only free of germ and bacterial matter.

It says clean drinkable water in 50/50 mix with Dex-Cool. I personally would only use Distilled Water.

Common sense tell me that some city water systems are better than other systems. I have never bought distilled water for a radiator (battery yes). If I was overly concerned, I would just draw tap water through the filter that is installed on my kitchen faucet.

Purified Water is described in the USP 23 monograph as follows:
"Purified Water is water obtained by distillation, ion-exchange treatment, reverse osmosis, or other suitable process. It is prepared from water complying with the regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with respect to drinking water. It contains no added substances."
Basically, the term "Purifed Water" is used to refer to "pure" water that can be obtained from several different methods, one of which is distilling.
