I just did a trip 11/2 each way and the temp never got half way, this stuff is awesome. Purple Ice is made by Royal Purple and lowers the temp of the coolent system. I would recommend it to anyone. By the way I got it from Jeg's.

my temp on both of my fb's never goes past the first notch, with just a 50/50 mix

 

Yea, you're gauge/sending unit is off or you need to flush. Shouldn't need a band-aid to keep your car running normal temp.

 

do the temp gauges go bad? cuz mine is usually like a bar or 2 past cold and my add coolant light would come on an just yesterday it looked like it was heated pretty bad when i got 2 my destination and when i went 2 top it off it only needed like a few ounces.....sorry for jackin this post man
