I run the orange coolant (50/50 water mix). Make sure that whatever you run says "ok for use in aluminum radiators"

Fluidyne recommended using the green ones(prestone, zerex, peak etc) with distilled water, which is what I used with watter wetter.

if your fans are not programmed to come on earlier like at 160 then they come on at stock temp which i believe is 195 or 210 i cant remember which is what actually helps cooling. A lower temp thermostat by itself does not actually help cooling.

Purple Ice reduced my water temp by about 10 degrees.
Shakalaka, ditch that 160 stat. It's bad for you car. Get a 180.
