Its also contains corosion inhibitors - you need these with an ally head/block. There are also chemicals to help the coolant absorbe heat more easily too.
So in short - yes coolant helps cool your engine.
so these chemicals actually improve the heat absorbtion of the coolant, ie making radiaitors and coolers more effective?? anyone know the names of these chemicals?
sorry to get so techy, but its my line of work, and we are having an issue with an EGR cooler not beahving how its supposed to be as we run our engines on just water.
