distilled water in a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio, depending on

buildup of deposits which may restrict coolant flow
and reduce heat dissipation, resulting in possible
engine damage. Polaris Premium 60/40
Antifreeze/Coolant is recommended for use in all
cooling systems, and comes pre-mixed and ready to
use.
