I was taking a look at my battery and saw that the car battery indicator was red. and on the battery it says "Distilled Water" so does that mean i need to add distilled water?
and how am i suppose to do this? I never had to deal with a car battery before.

 

i think you are supposed to just put distilled water into the battery. i never knew exactly WHY this was, but i had to do this before on a nissan altima and it helped a starting problem that i had that day.

anyone who knows want to explain the reasoning? i figure it has something to do with the chemicals in the battery and helping them flow more protons from the waters hydrogen or something like that

 

how can this be a maintenance free battery when you need to perform maintenance?

 

maintence free meaning that you don't have to worry about it until it becomes a problem.

Its not like you have to constatnly remember to put distilled water in it every x000 miles.
