These are guys who make there living on the road and if the Evans Waterless Coolant was just 'snake oil' I would think it would just be a flash in the pan product. What sold me was that a lot of commercial truckers use the product in their big rigs and gave it glowing reviews. Jay's endorsement was only one part of what sold me as I am fully aware of endorsements for Z-Max, octane boosters, Slick 50, STP 'snake Oils' and usually dismiss them. With ethylene glycol antifreeze the system needs to be pressurized (1 pound per 3 degrees) to raise the boiling point. I can even run a non pressurized system which is easier on hoses, seals, etc. Additionally, and unlike ethylene glycol antifreeze, Evans is non toxic to animals, small children or the environment, has a boiling point of 375 degrees so my car will never overheat (unless there is a mechanical failure), a freezing point of -40 degrees. Evans contains not water and will never corrode radiators, water pumps, water passages, etc. Chemistry is chemistry, modern coolants contain water and water is corrosive by the nature of its make-up, even if changed every year it will cause some corrosion, even if on a small scale.

The waterless coolant I bought off EBay from Hoerr Racing Products for $131.70 with free shipping.Ĭalculate in that decade a water pump or two, possibly at least one radiator and you have far exceeded the cost of the Evans Waterless Coolant. The prep fluid I bought off Amazon for a very reasonable $63.64 with tax and free shipping. I bought 2 gallons of the prep fluid and 3 gallons of the waterless coolant.

Per Evans instructions you only need to use 1/2 the fill volume in prep fluid. Blow out as much of the prep fluid as possible. Let cool and repeat draining everything. Button everything back up and then add the prep fluid. Drain radiator, drain block, drain heater core. The key is getting ALL of the water out of the car. I thought since my radiator and water pump, overflow tank, hoses, etc are all pretty new this would be the time to do it, especially where I would be changing the coolant in preparation for Winter storage anyway. I watched a video where Jay Leno has used the same coolant without changing it in one of his cars for 13 years. Once done it is good for life unless there is a failure of some sort. After doing plenty of research I bit the bullet and bought 3 gallons of Evan High Performance Waterless Coolant and 2 gallons of the prep fluid.
