I don't think the brand matters as much as the coolant to water ratio.
They also say use a 50/50 mix but that's a 50% compromise. I can give
you're the scientific explanation but water is better at conducting
heat.
You may want to check into Redline Water Wetter. It increases water's
ability to conduct heat away from the engine. To increase cooling you
want to run water without coolant. Although if you do that it might be a
good idea to add some water pump lubricant. Water Wetter is suppose to
have the lubricants.
I live in so. cal . where it stays above 32 deg. (+ car is garaged) so I
use straight water and the recommended amount of Water Wetter.

I was just curious for those who flushed their radiators
lately or put
new t-stats in: Is there any difference between the
different
brands/types of coolants (i.e. prestone, peak, etc.)?
What are you
fellow DML's using...does it matter?
