Waterless Engine Coolant

Hi all

So I was surfing Jay Leno's Garage when I ran into this product.

Does anyone use this product on their MINI?

It works. I don't use it. Factory coolant works well too.

On a diseal engine where by running hottor, the motor gains added efficiency, products like evans waterless coolant are becomming popular....
But on a gasoline motor, the expansion of the metals are carefully calculated to jave a sweet spot of a temp to run so parts are just tight enough to ensure no excessive wear..
on older cars using different themostats were a trick used by hotrodders, but engine tolerances are MUCH tighter today...
So the primiary benifit if less mantance in a gasoline motor...
Now, just like silocone brake fluid, there are plusses on some applications...especially collector cars, but not so much for a daily driver imo.
