[QUOTE="radman, post: 119771, member: 167"] I am using the Blue Ice in Frank-it's not a racing only coolant, especially since racers cannot use any antifreeze due to it's slippery qualities if laid down on the track, same as any race track, cars or scoots. The "Race" recomendation is for motocrossers, which are about as hard on a cooling system as you'll find. I just wanted a top quality, scoot oriented coolant that was blue. No, wait..... :blink: I liked the idea of the high quality mix (not all distilled water is as good as one might think, not that I can say I've seen it destroy an engine), and that's what is most important to me. I use Havoline green in all my 4 wheel stuff, and have for years, I do change it on a yearly basis out of habit. People would be surprised to learn how often leaky heater cores and radiators, as well as water pump seal failure (bearing soon to follow) can be traced to internal rather than external causes. I've seen systems fail with Dex Cool, as well as regular green-ignore either system at your peril. [/QUOTE]
