Coolant for '14 Kia Forte

[SavagePatch]

Hi. I'm trying to find an aftermarket coolant for a Kia Forte to top off with. The owners manual isn't specific and only calls for an ethylene glycol type coolant. Does anybody know what coolant to use besides factyor? I'm assuming Peak Global Lifetime will do the job. Or just straight distilled water. Thanks.

Yeah in California straight Distilled is good. I'm guessing you don't want to pay the dealer in price for their 50/50?

Amsoil? Although that's likely more than dealer pricing when shipping is thrown in.

I have used Zerex Asian in my 2012 Kia. The owners manual for my 2012 indicates the same as your 2014. I purchased it at NAPA.

Peak Global Lifetime is my go to for most applications. Flush with distilled water then add straight to hit 50/50 conc.

Zerex Asian is easier to find and a bit less coin, should be fine as well.

I'm not opposed to paying dealer prices and most likely will when I do a complete drain and fill. Just thought there might be something simpler (closer) for top offs until then. Thanks for the response on distilled water.
