As title states I was wondering if any are better for our engines than others as I am getting ready to filler up.
Thanks for any input.

check for phosphate free and suitable for alloy engines. After that, the world is your oyster!

dexonII i think..

I've been using the VW blue stuff. Phosphate free and cheaper than the same stuff with the Porsche crest on it...

Dex-Cool is what I use... It is phosphate free. Use distilled water though!
There have been long debates in the past on this subject... A search is likely to turn something up.

Has anybody used the evans coolant? I was thinking about using it when I get home this summer.

I will more than likey make the switch next time I do the belts and Water Pump on my 84 NA. IIRC Chris White uses Evans, see what a search may find.

I use just distilled water and redline water wetter. I live in Vegas. Any negative comments about this I'd like to hear and if so what would you suggest?

The Evans non-aqueous coolant is working fine so far. I wasn’t having heat problems before and I added a Griffen radiator so the tests are not really conclusive.
I do like the less pressure in the coolant system (only a couple of pounds at full temp).

The only down side is that the stuff is very slippery and due to the fact that it boils at 370 any coolant spilled on the block will NEVER evaporate – it just sits there and smell like hot coolant!

To get the full effect the entire system has to be drained. More than a couple of percent of water in the system will greatly reduce the effect.
