Default Lucas Oil Super Coolant

Anyone ever use Super Coolant by Lucas Oil? If so did it make a differance in engine temp?

I have been using it for the last 6 months with decent results.
I will be replacing my radiator in a week or so and will add a 180 soft spring t/stat and another bottle of Super Cool.
As far as I am concerned any BG products are great, especially their stop leak and 44K.

Mike, thanks for the reply. I have not been able to find the other products you listed in my area, damn south! I will add the super coolant next week. Thanks again for the info as well as the reply.

If you want to cool it even more consider add a 439-180 degree soft spring t/stat, most get a 10 to 15 degree drop in operating temps.

Mike I found a Motorad 439-180 degree soft spring t/stat on Amazon for about $36.00, I take it that is the correct t/stat. I live in the south now and some days the engine temp is over 212 F. If the and the super coolant will lower it by 10 then Im a happy guy.

Ths stat will make the most difference, the "wetting agent" (reduces the size of gas bubbles formed by heating inside engine) will also help, but can't get temps below the threshold of the mechanical stat. So if you are running 212, and a new stat drops that to 185, don't expect the water treatment to drop that another 10 degrees, etc.

http://www.bgprod.com/distloc.html this will help anyone trying to locate this Awesome product! This product was not sold at any auto part stores in my area. I found it at independent shops that use there products. Works great!

Hope this makes your search easier folks:-)

It says that the 439-180 Thermostat by Motorad will not fit my 03 is this true? It looks just like mine. Is the PEL500110 better than the 439-180 by motorad?
