For what power levels? Track or street? There may be some people running other coolant but the majority of people will be running oem coolant probably a 50/50 or 70/30 ratio coolant to distilled water. Some may be running redline water wetter. And some are probably running the off brand coolant that is still compatible with our cars.
Most people have issues keeping oil temps down on this platform, idk if you are having heat issues but that's usually the bigger problem |

60/40 coolant/distilled water and redline Diesel water wetter. Works well for me.
I do run 70/30 in the race cars+ WW but they get stored at higher temps over the winter |

Thank you. I know about mixing. I have to do 50/50 as I live in Northern Europe. I need max cooling protection.
But I am curious if this Mocool product does what it says -15 degrees colder [IMG][/IMG] |

The additives. The regular stuff was designed to run w/ between 0% and 30% glycol mix; so they have the corrosion protectants in it to account for it.
The diesel stuff has none as its expected that you run a more normal amount of glycol. Too many additives have been known to gum up in certain cars/situations etc. I used to run the regular stuff until I met a fair number of people at track days who have had this happen; switched to the diesel stuff and all the solids went away |

I'm sure it works fine, not sure how many people have run it on our cars. Water wetter is more common on here, maybe try that? Otherwise I'd just Google whether or not Mocool even works for other platforms. If it's junk then its junk, usually Motul makes good product though.
