ok before i get ripped up and spit out i know some of the older guys are gonna say its crap ,but i remembered on my motorcycles i was running this liquid to keep the motor cooler it worked as we al know high temps rob hp .the liquid is called engine stuff is called engine ice made by cyclelogic i just bought 15 qts and said good bye to 135 dollars (ive wasted more for less) if anything itll be a good experiment ill run the car test temp drain out fluid and flush the system replace with new liquid and repeat .and see if there is a difference .i called the company and was old it will work great in the car a lot of nascar guys use it ,so i said what the heck.

Nothing ventured nothing gained, glad you did some leg work first. Some of that stuff will eat through the aluminum parts and waste an engine.
Look forward to the results!

Interesting. Let us know. However, remember the engine is designed to run at a certain temp and needs to. And those rich NASCAR guys rebuild an engine after two races... I don't have the money to do that, I need LONGEVITY!
Also, how does it effect the aluminum heads, cast block, and water pump in the long run? The marketing guys can make it sound great...

I'm going to disagree, sorry.
I'm not trying to lambast you here, really. If you want it to run 10-15 cooler, why not switch thermostats for less money? Or there is a contol that turns on the radiator fans quicker and lowers it 10 degrees. When you say 10 or 15 doesn't mean much in engine temp, I disagree. One or two or three pounds make a big difference in tire pressure -- ask the drag or autoX boys. Oh, I know, I just talked about tire pressure to engine temp, but the engines are designed to run at 185 not 160.
How many miles did you put on your motorcyles to tell me this product gave them longevity? If you put 100,000 miles without problems, then I'm a believer. 25,000 doesn't count.
You also said the quicker you get the heat out the better it runs is arguable. Heat is a good thing. Too much isn't. Operating temp is operating temp and is there is a reason for it. Better mileage. Better performance. Changing your oil more will give you more longevity than a car running at 160 degrees.
I think these guys are feeding you, well, mushroom food.

Every time I work inside the engine compartment it takes for-freking-ever to cool down. If I can wait, ha who can do that, I let it set overnight and work on it in the morning. I hope this stuff will disperse the heat better and do something for heat soak.
