Ok, the test results are in. A 10:1 mixture of distilled water and Zerex Racing Super Coolant does a better job of cooling than a normal 50-50 mix of anti-freeze and water. With the antifreeze / water mix, in outside temps of 85-90 degrees F, the temp gauge would hover around the 3/4 mark. If stopped in traffic for say, 5 minutes or more, the gauge would head towards the H mark (hot, hot, hot). With the water / RSC mixture, same outdoor temps, normal driving - just shy of the 1/2 mark, idling in traffic - between 1/2 and 3/4 marks. Impressive.
Unfortunately, RSC does not provide protection below freezing, so it is limited. But here in the almost desert climate of San Diego, no problem. It may now be called Valvoline RSC, can't seem to find it under the Zerex listing. And you have to buy a case of 6 quarts. At 1/2 quart per filling and changing it every 2 years, that will last 24 years !! :-) Good luck, Ken C /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
