    Never heard of it, but if i ever need to change the coolant, i will get it from the dealer. Just my 2 cents.

    I think I will look into it, I believe my 17 Tacoma v6 uses 9.2 quarts. I guess I will need to flush the system with a product from them before I go waterless.
    Your opinion so far on the product is good you say, I'm glad, I wish it was cheaper...

    From what i hear, it will lower your temps a few degrees if the vehicle runs hot. You can't mix it with a conventional coolant, or you'll need to drain the entire system.

    A big old "not the best idea" for a system that is designed for a water/coolant mixture. The viscosity of the Evans is higher, which reduces flow through the cooling network substantially. The specific heat capacity of it is also quite low when compared to regular coolant. So essentially, it can't carry as much heat, nor can it move as quickly... see where we are headed?

    This is an excellent and quick read on the subject of regular coolant.
