There have been a couple of guys posting on this thread that have used or are using Evan's coolant, so I'm not the first or only guy.
I will putting it in the Cobra first, all though, after my recent overheating issue with my Suzuki bike, I'm tempted to do THAT vehicle first! It's a pain in the butt keeping track of the various vehicles and when to add additives or change fluids when the time comes around. My plan with Evan's is, "Set it and forget it." If all goes well I will be using it in my "fleet" of vehicles. Truck, cars, bikes, but not the lawn mower and other air cooled engines around the place.
By the way, Japanese
antifreeze products rely heavily on silicates as an additive. Griffin, who doesn't have a problem with Evans, states you should NOT use a silicate type
antifreeze product in their radiators. Apparently the silicates are abrasive.
Look, if "green" is working for ya, and you don't mind changing every two years or so, then carry on. Me? I want to reduce the pressure on my system (this thread is not helping
) and extend the service life of my coolant for fleet use.
I am reminded of the Brad Penn
oil and ZDDP debate thread. MY preferred method is Shell Rotella and a couple of bottles of STP. Brad Penn
oil is good, but complicated to get for me. Rotella is easy and is readily available on the highway should I need to top up. What ever works for ya...
