BMIC,

I was kept awake at night about what oil I was going to use a full two years before the jeep was on the road!

That's why I love this forum, sometimes you get the answer long before you knew the problem.....

We discussed it over on WillysM on 2 occasions and all agree the answer is NO!! Our engines were designed to operate on good ol' ethylene glycol and have been doing fine with it for decades now.

WOW not going anywhere near that crap. I want water and antifreeze in my cooling system If I am out some where and bust a hose spring a leak or what ever I want to be able to scoop up water from a creek or the water fountain at a park and refill my radiator. I don't want to call a tow truck to drag me home so I can wait a week for some of this crap to show up in the mail.

We once went deer hunting in a ver y low slung 65 Dodge Polara and hit a rock with the oil pan. Lost all the oil in a few miles. I had a couple quarts with me that got us to the Hwy. A nice guy stopped to see if he could help and gave use another qt he had. I even found something that looked a little bit like motor oil in a can in an old shed with briars growing over it to dump in the old beast. That got us to a tiny little town with the nicest gas station owner who put my Polara on his rack drained the werid crap left in it and then worked with brake clean to clean the crack as best he could. He then used some gas tank repair epoxy to fill in the crack. And when he was done and it had set up he filled the crankcase with oil from his drippings barrel and filled up a couple antifreeze jugs with more of the Bulk oil and then he looked at me and the wife and said I bet you ain't got no money have you. I think we had 5 bucks. He told us to get home and be careful. When I got home I sent him a check for 40 bucks and for the next ten years until one of them came back returned the wife sent him a Christmas card.

Now if I had had some magic fancy oil that couldn't be mixed with anything. We would have been screwed.

The cooling system was designed to use a 50/50 mix and that is what it will remain as.

Here's a short discussion on the 2A page.  It was enough to discourage me.

 I am far from needing this information but I can't help but wonder if anyone is running with waterless coolant. Its supposed to hep eliminate rust and corrosion from the cooling system. Pros and Cons anyone?
