What brand COOLANT?

It seems that Rotary engines run hotter temperatures in comparison to pistons.

What brand COOLANT do you use to keep it cool?

I don't think brand of coolant matters much. If you want an additive, you can try Redline Water Wetter, which is proven to lower temps by a bit.

It's pretty hard to screw up making coolant, but I always stick with Prestone for some reason.

What about Evans NPG+ Coolant?
Is about $25 per gal!

Whatever you use make sure it's formulated for alluminum engines.

I run water wetter, with an 80/20 water coolant mix for the summer, along with some anti rust additive.
