Yep, the advantage isnt that its better than water, its that you dont need normal coolant any more.

Works a treat, minis use it due to their crappy side mounted radiator!

You can only use it with just water on all aluminium engines.

Cast iron blocks still require you to use anti freeze to prevent corrosion.
