anti freez is recommended, but some people put in distilled water.

Antifreeze is the worst thing anyone could put in the IC sprayer.

The purpose of the IC spray fluid is to evaporate and remove heat upon evaporation. A mix of methanol and water is ideally suited for this purpose, and since the composition of washer fluid is exactly this, it is recommended as IC sprayer fluid.

regular water has minerals and ions that may clog up the pump. Stick to distilled water or washer fluid.

I use just water. Manual say washer fluid so it won't freeze during winter/lower temps.

distilled water/with methanol mixed ...not sure if there is a low level light for the reservoir ...if there is ..straight alchy will effect it ...a mix of distilled water/alchol will net u some ponies ...just with washer fluid alone evo's dyno'd with it on and off ...showed a 10hp increase ...with it spraying ...so imagine when u put that mix on it...cool taht charge even more ...every little helps ...lower intake temps are the goals...
