Like most of us, I've looked into Evans and have left confused. There
really is almost no testing done of the product and the one I have found,
http://www.norosion.com/evanstest.htm, is by a competitor. But after doing
as much research as my non-scientific mind could handle without overheating
I've decided against using it. What I've concluded from that research is
that Evans will make your car run hotter. However, because it has a higher
boiling point than other coolants, your car will not boil over.
Nevertheless, it will not prevent your engine from reaching a temperature
where engine damage can occur. So if your engine cooling problem is
allowing your car to reach above 230-240 F, where engine damage will occur,
the fact that Evans is keeping the radiator from boiling over isn't going
to help you any. My own feeling is addressing the cooling problem with an
effective shroud, coolant recovery system and possibly a puller electric
fan is a better plan than the Evans.
If my conclusions are incorrect. I'm ready to listen.
