car help

Hello I have downs concerning everything about cars & technics.

Can I use normal water as cooling liquid or does it have to be distilled or does it have to be anything special from some shop even?

Just filled in ~3L of tap water, looked fine while driving to McDonalds.

(15:47:07) (@s|chak) your car is gonna explode!

IS HE RIGHT? :(

My Dad's gonna slaughter me if the car goes broke :(

It's summer so I doubt it will freeze.

ofc i won't freeze now, but when you forget it till the winter you have a prob...
anyway if you keep on using normal water it will destroy the tubes because normal water consists out of minerals and ions which kill the tubes after some while
but once using normal water is np

did something happend?

btw destilled water should be better because there arent any minerals in which corrode your cooling system (tubes etc. pp)

undestilled water can freeze in winter + the minerals in the normal water can damage the car
