ya i actually used 60 40 water to coolant....but the Super Anti Rust stuff is something you add to the coolant. Its like 8oz of liquid and suposeddly protects against rust...just wondering if its a good idea or if it may have some wierd negative effect on the engine/coolant seals/anything

Does it say it's supposed to be used in conjunction with coolant? or instead of glycol with water? In any event, I can't imagine it would hurt unless it's properties somehow reduce the boiling point.

its not a band aid, i change it yearly....and actually twice this year, but i figure man as well prevent it from occuring. Plus, i've had no coolant in the car for going on 4 days now, because my pettit ast sprung a huge leak at the weld near the top, so i'm waiting on rx7trix to send me a new one, so idk, it sounded like a good idea when i saw it so i bought it.

I Had a first gen which I would run to 10,000 rpm daily and it ate a water pump every ~30,000 miles. I started using the stuff and when I sold the car the replacement water pump had 125,000 miles on it and was working fine. I also saw a big difference in the mineral deposits and color of the engine water passages after using it, spotless.

as long as you dont run just water and chage it every year. The addetives in any coolent should keep rust out of you motor as long as you take care of it. all coolent should keep rust out put depends on when you change it.
