Hey all,
Did a quick scan of this but did not come across any posts - sorry if missed.
Any thoughts on this stuff??

Supposedly the main benefits are that it doesn't run water, which prevents any sort of issues with corrosion, and that it is non-toxic.
I have heard, however, that this coolant runs hotter than a "typical" coolant (evos use the green one). Can anyone explain to me why, within a normally operating system, any fluid, whatever fluid that is in there would run hot?
As far as I can understand, in general, the thermostat monitors temperature, opens up when it reaches the operating temperature and lets coolant run through the system, if under operating temperature it will keep it in the block. I don't understand how a coolant would run hotter unless its heat dispersion was bad enough to overwhelm the system. Is this more or less correct? I know there's variance in the temperature of course, but I've heard of a *few* accounts of people saying it ran hotter in their cars. When I spoke to an Evans rep they said if the car's not already overheating, there's no reason for this fluid to overheat in the car.
FYI, this fluid requires a full flush, dry block, then they fill it up with this stuff. Thoughts?
