[QUOTE="upontheriversky, post: 1063791626, member: 59480"] i have read in a lot of articles saying that nothing beats pure water in heat transfer, coolant is mainly used as lubrication (the texture is bit oily) and for neutralizing acid, in cold countries, it serves as an antifreeze. the oily texture makes coolant inferior to water in transferring heat if this is true then 100% coolant wont cool the engine as good as 100% water. also, since we dont have freezing problem, i have read 70-30 or 80-20 ratio for best cooling while still having proper lubrication and acid resistancy in hot climate correct me if im wrong coz im using 80-20 for my car now :D [/QUOTE]
