Re: Evans coolant.
John, I ran it last season and noticed about 5 degrees cooler and temps did not reach above 170 it looked as good as when I put it in at the end of the year. I also put in a new radiator last year and it still looks brand new, not rust what so ever, it's worth the extra $$ for that reason alone to me and also lubes the water pump.

Re: Evans coolant.
When I inquired to my local dealer about it he concurred with prior comments but also stated it can’t be mixed with water, very $$, and once you get it ”HOT” it take a long time to cool down.
My 2 cents Jim |

Re: Evans coolant.
I've used it for a couple years. All the hype sounds good. I don't know of an advantage. Didn't notice any difference in it. That stuff is nasty though to get it on your hands. Their contingency program is ridiculous. It's promoted as a lifetime coolant yet you must buy a fairly large amount of it every two years to be eligible. If it's lifetime what are we to do with it?

Re: Evans coolant.
I bought it for their contingency. have a box of it still sitting on the shelf
last season I paid $200 won over $500 I don’t know about you but I think it was worth putting the decal on the car. I really don’t like the buy in deals where you have to buy product again the following season especially at $200 minimum I’m not gonna have 20 boxes of Evans coolant sitting on my shelf so unfortunately I won’t be spending the $200 this year. I was planning on putting the stuff in my Dodge Street/strip car if I ever get that going again.

Re: Evans coolant.
Keith you know that $500 is pennies compared to the $ it cost to build and maintain a competitive car in any NHRA Sportsman class. Bottomline is I don't by into their marketing bs and therefore will never buy into the contingency program. Straight water in both my cars, NOTHING cools better!!
