I think this stuff works in engines where the coolant passages (particularly around the pump) were poorly designed. That creates cavitation and reduces cooling. Not really an issue here.

I've had really good luck with it in race cars and motorcycles. However, those applications also used a much lower ratio of coolant to water.

I've used it in higher HP turboed cars in conjunction with Methanol kit's in summer weather - it would lower IAT's 10-15 degrees at least..... RS6's Typically and my last E63 build.

Not the same results for all cars and use cases for sure.
