I used it in my SVX. Haven't gotten around to putting it in my Evo yet. It does work, so there's no reason not to use it.

No problem with it precipitating little "gooey *****" of something or other? I tried it with BMW factory antifreeze/distilled water mix and had that problem...no probs with Mitsuibishi factory fill?

There are certain types of coolant you can't mix it with, like Audi's G12 or something like that. I use it to help keep temps down for track days, better heat transfer for better cooling. I also use it on my shifter kart with straight distilled water.

Used in every car i've had,
Worked super good in my 1G w/ a full 16G, EvoIII turbo, manifold etc... and 2.5" exhaust.
it helped solve my overheating issues, and once i got my rad, it was sweet, temps never high,
dropped temps in my 04 STi by about 20degrees, and the same in my 05 XA and 05 Rubicon...
once i get around to getting Samco Hoses and i'll put it in my EVO..
I love REDLINE's products, never had a problem in any of those car's w/ any of the products they put out...
Royal Purple and Amsoil has some great stuff too

Its a liquid (made by Redline and others) that goes into the radiator and reduces the surface tension of water so that the water more fully coats the water jacket surfaces and therefore allows more effective heat transfer from the engine block to the water. It also has some water pump conditioning additives and anti-corrosion additives so it can be used with pure water which further improves heat transfer to the water. Not a good idea for a street driven car that might eventually see below freezing temperatures, but is good for race cars.
