voice your opinion on Engine Ice antifreeze

i recently bought some and idk if i should use it in my quad or not ive been told it wasnt very good that it will clog up ur cooling system

share ur experience with the product

thanks

I use it in my Yamaha Grizzly 660 cause it tens to overheat easily , and Engine Ice has really helped it. I dont have a temp gauge , but I know it has brought the temp down quite a bit.

I've used it in the past. I just use the 50/50 antifreeze works goods for me.

Gonna make it to Ballances any this year pimp?

who is this lmao

[morse250r]

have had great luck with it run it in both of my r 's

[Balaz_73*00]

No problems with it in my 07' LTR

[ride4ever]

run in my banshee works great. never had any clogging issies

[Colby@C&DRacing]

We have been using it for years and never had any problems. I have taking it out of motors that have melted down due to no oil and the engine ice is just fine.

For my 450's I've always used 50/50 mix of Maxima Coolanol/Maxima Coolaide.

Never overheated once.

I have used it for over 2 years in my ltr and love it. Stopped my fan from coming on so often. Just make sure to completly flush the system with distilled water before you put the engine ice in.

bringin this topic back up

im deciding to flush my system and use the engine ice. so how would i need to go about doing this? flush with water to get all the green out wat about all the water that wont drain out of some places

How much engine ice am i goin to need to fill the radiator/engine and coolant bottle under my rear plastic?

[d3ktrix]

1 bottle of engine ice is enough.

I thought antifreeze was to keep a cooling system from freezing up. Its in the name. Any one use water wetter and plain water in the summer? I run the engine ice so I aint knocking it just curious.

It does, but the additives in the coolant which prevent it from freezing lowers it's thermal conductivity, which results in higher temps.
So different types of antifreeze and additives will results in different temps. Engine ice is a Propylene glycol based antifreeze, most others like the ones you use in your car are Ethylene glycol based.

Just straight water has the best thermal conductivity compared to antifreezes but it also has a much lower boiling point, no corrosion inhibitors, etc.

Straight distilled water and water wetter(to lube the water pump) if fine IMO as long as ur don't boil it over from lean jetting and change it often.
