    Coolant?

    Who is using what? Looking for suggestions and examples. I live in Los Angeles where It never really dips below 40 degrees, But warm temps in traffic is HIGHLY likely.

    I was doing some reading on the ole inter web and saw that running distilled water with an additive is the most efficeint way to keep temps down. What has everyone used for their coyote? Any overheating?

    I'm using the Ford F53 stuff, as recommended for the Mustang.

    You are correct, though. Pure water with a surfactant provides the best heat transfer. But, you need lubricant for the water pump, and anticorrosion stuff, too. Even here in CO, I only run 25% antifreeze, and a bottle of Water Wetter.
