some swear by it, some swear against it. Some people say that it attacks the rubber seals in our engine and will destroy the coolant seals - BUT, I have never seen proof of this.

Without a doubt, this stuff works. But, the question is: Does it really damage the engine? Like I said, I have never seen proof, but it doesn't seem too far-fetched. My thought is that it does damage the rubber, but that it does not do serious enough damage to cause engine failure.

I'm running 2 bottles of WW. I run a mix of 60 coolant to 40 diluted water. With all new Coolant Sensors, Including Water Pump, and an aftermarket Water Temp Gauge, I do notice a difference In cooling temps but not nearly as dramatic as "studies" depict. The Rotary Is wicked In heat, we know. WW decreases coolant temps that I'm sure you'll notice, provided the rest of your coolant system Is adequate...

I noticed it on my T2, which is a bit modded and has a fluidyne radiator. It seems to warm up faster from a cold start and cools down quicker when you beat on it and then give it a cooldown lap.

You'll notice the difference...this stuff works. BTW I think it's much cheaper than $13 a bottle - Pep Boys sell them @ $7 a pop.
