I've heard of it before, supposed to be popular with some RX7 guys. I wouldn't want to have to lug around a jug everywhere in the event I have a leak though.
edit: I meant RX7, good buys thread had me thinking of S2000's

Was thinking "Why the heck would you even worry about that? How often does your car develop a freaking coolant leak?" and then saw early 90's Toyota and Jeep (regardless of year) in ownership line

The funny thing is the Jeep has never had a leak *knock on wood*, but all 3 of the Celica's I've own have popped leaks of varying severity (that's a risk with anything old though IMO). Either way, any car can blow a hose and I don't like the idea of replacing the easiest to find automotive fluid with something that leaves me needing a tow home if I lose a bit of it.

Hmm. I've heard of waterless coolant before, but I never realized there was consumer applications for it.
I didn't realize you could just dump the stuff into a regular car cooling system without any upgrades and be done.
I am installing a new mishimoto radiator, as well as some new coolant pipes, and re-doing my hoses yet again at some point in the near future. So I will make the swap, and report back.
Pros:
non-toxic, low pressure, not corrosive, lubricating properties, higher boiling point, re-useable, lifetime use
Cons:
initial cost, loss due to blown hose/seal/gasket eventually requires flush and new fluid
From my understanding, if you need to refill the system in an emergency, you can use water but you just lose the benefits of the Evans and have to go through the flush/fill process once the system's repaired.
I think it's pretty significant that it allows the cooling system to run at a low pressure. Probably extends the life of most seals/gaskets/hoses in the system.
Am I missing anything?
I wonder if it's acceptable to use at all race tracks?
I'm on the fence but it's a perfect time for me to run it since my motor has been completely drained for some time now and the hoses, pump and rad are new.

Side question: Could this be potentially bad for older cars? I mean, it keeps temps low, but could it mask existing and/or bigger problems within a cooling system?

I kinda have this worry as well, my car motor and cooling system is certainly not new at ~150k km.
But I feel a lot more comfortable doing this while I am pretty much revamping the entire cooling system of the motor.
It's a valid point, how does the active items in the waterless coolant react with a car which may already have a degree of corrosion or buildup within the system.
in the articles i've been reading, evans has a general disclaimer statement that basically says your existing cooling system must be in good working order. it is not a miracle cure for any existing problems. so if you have a leaking rad, hoses, bad thermostat, failing water pump or just full of rust and scale, you're just throwing your money away because of how much this stuff costs per gallon if you're not going to give it a good base to work on

You're taking away most (if not all) of the pressure in the system and going from a corrosive to a non-corrosive. If the system is in good working order, it should be fine.

from the website:
Quote:
Racing venues that allow propylene glycol based coolants, but not ethylene glycol and food service equipment where ethylene glycol products are contraindicated.
