Need to pick some minds
I have a v6 3L in one of my Fords. I notice the temp gauge starting to get higher than normal (warmer) while I wait at a fast food window or just setting at an idle. Soon as I'm able to move it drops back donw into the mid range normal. 2 years ago I replaced the raditor, and had it power flushed and they replaced the thermostat and a few years ago I replaced the heater core.. what maks it get warn when not moving and cools off so instantly when moving? This a 99 motor...could it be the thermostate so soon? Suggestions?

Regular tap water contains dissolved minerals that can contribute to deposit formation and restricted flow in the radiator.
Distilled water is, well, just pure water.
Keep in mind, other "bottled waters" are not necessarily pure water.
You might even see something like "with dissolved minerals for improved taste".
Pure water has no taste; it is just hydrogen and oxygen.
Also, proper coolant change intervals is recommended to keep the corrosion inhibiting properties.
