I tried to do a search but the 3 letter word ice seems to mess it up.
my 06 er keeps running a little warm (I think)
the fan is kicking on alot, and I can smell the overflow coolant.
I was checking around and heard this engine ice may help.
are there any other tricks other than dropping 3 bills on a larger
radiator ?
there are a few other coolants out there.........have any of you had good luck with any of them.
thankx for any light you can shed on this.

put * after it and you can do a search. Engine ice is very good and highly recomended. I use Liquid performance in my son's bike and it is just as good.

ive been told by some very knowledgable people that engine ice is the worst thing you can run. something too do with it actually holds heat and tricks your engine into thinking it's running cooler then it is, and it doesn't transfer heat. engine ice is what i was running up until i was told this.

I have never heard this. I run Liquid Performance but I have still never heard of that about Engine Ice:confused:

I haven't run it before but I have heard nothing but good things. The only thing I have heard negative about it is from this post. Liquid performance is also a top contender in the heavy weight battles of engine coolants. Buy the cheaper of the two, thats my .02 :)

Engine Ice is a good product. I use it in my quad and street bike. They are very nice and knowledgable people. If you have any questions they will be glad to share any information. I had a question and called them. They were very helpful and wasn't hesitant to talk to me about other products than theirs. Also they didn't have any negative things to say about their competiters products.

I use Redline Water Wetter. I used a digital coolant temp sensor so I could record the difference between coolant with and without Water Wetter. 5 to 10 Degree difference. I did this test on my car.
