Royal Purple Radiator Coolant Additive:
"Cool as Ice- Keeping it cool is one of the keys, and Purple Ice is the king of cool. Purple Ice is formulated to reduce the surface temperature of the coolant up to 30"

Is there any truth to Royal purples statement of reducing coolant temps by 30 degrees and to prevent corosion? Will it be harmful in the long run to my coolant system?

i mixed it with my coolant. mixed in what they recommended, cant remeber what was recommended but according to my temp gauge it didnt do anything.

I here it works about the same as Redline water wetter.
I have used water wetter in my blown mustang and it doe's work.
I saw about a 5 degree decrease in water temp.
Of course i had a auto meter temp gauge also.

The temp gauge in the 00-02 F-bodys are only a little more than an idiot gauge.
98-99 gauges shows a more accurate reading.

I watched Horsepower TV on Spike and they added royal purle oil and trans fluid and gear oil and coolant additive to a stock 6 speed LS1 SS and it added about 8 horses I think they spent about $150. That stuff works and it's been proven on LS1's.

I purchased some for my car and noticed about a 5 degree difference in temps. Not 30 but that is alot to expect.

I bought it for $10.95 free shipping online when they wanted $18 in town so the heck not?

Maybe 30 degrees in conjunction with a 160 thermo and an electric water pump . If its been proven, why not? These motors tend to run hot. Every little bit helps. I ran Royal Purple oil for a while, nothing but good to say about the products. Redline Oil is a little more available to me (1 mile away instead of 4 TOWNS away), thats the only reason I switched from Royal Purple.

I swear by the stuff, it works great!

I would use Water Wetter...

The idea behind this stuff is just as much about lubricating areas that might not have good coolant/water flow as it is lowering actual coolant temps. Its supposed to hit hot spots where normal flow is poor.

99% sure NASCAR engines use Water Wetter and Distilled H2O for what its worth.

There are also "supercoolant" options like Evans. http://www.evanscooling.com/main25.htm

I am skeptical about new products like supercoolant when I dont know enough information, reviews or long term effects. I was too about Purple Ice but enough people use it to convince me...
