Obviously you did not pay attention. So buzz off. If you have not used it I do not want your opinion nor your sarcasm. Notice my question

I use waterless everything..I use waterless carwash, waterless soup, waterless showers..its awesome.

Is your engine experiencing corrosion due to the use of Toyota Red, which is what you should be using..?
Notice my question

My post is for people who have actually used the waterless coolant not to argue about Toyota coolant. Since you obviously have not buzz off.

I have not used waterless coolant but I've read that if your not in freezing climates using mostly water is better than coolant.

That's true as far as heat transfer but not as far as corrosion and lubrication. Not sure how this stuff is in heat transfer but it seems a lot of people in Saudi Arabia use it and like it. They have 120F temperatures over there.

I haven't ran it, but I did research it back when I was running my race car.

Heat transfer is supposed to be better than water based coolants at the time. Only issue is flammability, it can burn.

Apparently 50/50 antifreeze has a much lower flash point
