    All antifreeze also won't dissipate heat enough.. the car ,if not frozen solid already will eventually overheat if run long and hard enough .. antifreeze will abbsorb heat but needs water to dissipate it effectivly..

    Speaking of antifreeze, what common brands are good for our cars?

    I know the BMW stuff from the dealer works, but it's very expensive, and the dealer far away.

    So, what products available at the local car parts store are good?

    I would recommend GlycoShell. I use the red one because my engine has alloy block and metal headgasket, all others should use the blue/green one.
