Blue devil engine cool or royal purple ice?

33/66 should be fine on it's own, if you feel it's insufficient bump your coolant ratio, I wouldn't mess with coolant additives.
Both of these claim 25f reduction, i assume from the "water wetter", anti corrosive and water pump lube.
Should i consider them all the same?
I head the royal purple fuel additive has a megadose of PEA, which is great. I am leaning toward their product hoping it is the same type of formulation. The instructions say one bottle, but two if you are using straight water. I am using twice the normal level of water, so one and one half bottles makes the most sense.

The ollie's here has has lucas super coolant now too.
An update on my coolant swap: the new radiator cap was defective. I added a gallon of prestone platinum after losing a lot.
Ruins my plans to finally have a single coolant to keep forever. Better luck next summer.

33% is enough to provide ok corrosion protection on its own.
Well i started with 33%, had a boilover from the faulty cap and filled the res with a water gallon twice driving around. Then i drained a gallon and added prestone platinum concentrate because no g05 at walmart. It says compatible with g05 on the bottle and website. I hope it does not hose my car. My concentration is over 33% now. I will check with a hydrometer later.
I always wonder how those miracle coolant additives adjust the setpoint of the thermostat.
I also wonder what it is in the water pump that needs lube and gets it from this additive.
You should consider them all bogus if you’re using them with a coolant mixture. Plain water? Sure. But not with a formulated coolant.
If you’re getting a boil over with 33% then there’s something wrong with your system.
Yes my new radiator cap was defective out of the box. Swapped and fine now
Actually its the purple ice. It turns a leak i never noticed into a gushing geyser.
Luckily ollies has a bunch of coolant stop leak products.

That is my final review after a whole bunch of drains and fills with this stuff. My coolant leaks bad with this stuff, not noticable without it. I have bought all new cooling system components to install when i have time so i can run the additives.
For now i am just running the coolant with no smell or drips.
