@@TheParkingLotMechanic keep going. The format and presentation is spot on and most importantly the content is what people are looking for. The butt dyno vids are a fantastic idea.
I'm going to give this product a real test by running it in my 3.8L V6 jeep wrangler at above 8000ft in the Colorado Rockies, I am seeing up to 240F before adding it. Unfortunately this test should have been more intense to really test it where it counts.
Thinking this through, I don’t think temp differences from Liquid Chill is going to show up under normal driving, as the thermostat is going to tend to self-regulate temps. My main interest in Liquid Chill (or any similar product) is cooling performance under significant sustained load. I haul a 8,000 pound horse trailer over mountain passes here in Colorado, with an F350 that’s been converted to a Cummins 12-valve. The original Powerstroke 6.0 was rated at 325hp, and the current tune of my Cummins is somewhere around 375-400. So the factory radiator does not cut it during sustained climbs over 10-11,000’ passes. I ordered the top-end Mishimoto last week and will be installing it in two weeks. I got the Liquid Chill just to give added cooling, under heavy load. We’ll see if that combo does the trick.
One thing you may want to test with this product is oil temps. The version of your motor, uses an oil cooler that does heat transfer to your coolant, so seeing if your oil temps dropped on average would be a good test. I’m searching for an additive because I have a Passat with the 1.8t, and I’ve been seeing higher than normal transmission temps ( I have a 09G transmission which uses a cooler with coolant and I have the oil to coolant exchanger also)
A thought: you added the Liquid Chill to the expansion tank. For that liquid to then thoroughly mix with the coolant in the radiator / engine, wouldn’t you need to fully cycle the coolant temperature 4-5 times? Maybe you did, but it wasn’t clear on the video.
Thank you for you input! While the difference does appear to be negligible, the engine will always operate at the set thermostat temperature unless you replace the thermostat. The difference I noticed was when the engine was cooling down. It wasn’t much faster, but it was by just a touch. Replacing the radiator would obviously have more benefit but this definitely gives peace of mind with power increases coming.
Love this gem of a channel. You will build a massive following 👏
Thank you so much! Its comments like these and the community that we are building that makes this worth it and keeps me going!

Thank you! Truly beyond grateful for this comment :)

Good video👍🏼
Thanks 👍

Yeah, that wasn't clear, sorry!
Is it just me or Do you guys also don't trust someone?That is sponsored by the product that they're reviewing...
this is ridiculous.. i know mishimoto sponsored this, but clearly there's no effective difference between with/without the additive
