what's the freezing temp of engine ice Dlit?

Engine Ice doesn't freeze. Period.

uh, yeah it does. It's still 50% distilled water. Most antifreezes have lower freeze points. It's freeze point is like -26 F, so unless you race antartica you are safe.

The 50% water is actually a benefit... a mixture of 50% water and 50% coolant has a lower freezing temperature than 100% coolant.

Oh yeah for sure... Cyclelogic Engine Ice is the best shit out IMHO

Ebbs... if you read your owners manual... it always says distilled only. It has to do with corrosion and shit and the alum system.
