What was interesting was I noticed oil temp ran cooler after, especially during pulling hard hills. It would get up to like 245 with red coolant 230.

That is actually one of their selling features. As rawze stated, the reason for pressuring the cooling system is to raise the waters boiling point in the coolant. With waterless there is no water to boil and this stuffs good over something like 300 degrees. .

They claim you can then put in a higher temp thermostat and make it so your fan will let your engine run warmer before cooling it down. By letting your engine oil run at a higher operating temperature, your engine will run more efficient and save you fuel.

So they claim.

But they do not tell you that it is truly overpriced, horrible stuff!!!---- --- You would think that for $40 a gallon --- THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY PROTECT YOUR ENGINE IN SOME WAY!!! -- BUT IT DOES NOT!!!

Here is what it did to my liners and block after 600k miles!!!





I WILL NEVER RUN OR RECOMMEND EVANS TO ANYONE AGAIN!!! -- IT IS HORRIBLE STUFF!

The truck seemed to run cooler,.. but in fact --- it simply was not absorbing heat properly! and it anodized my radiator, and I had to replace that too!.

I had to spend 2 days with paint stripper and rust remover to clean up my block!.
