'coolant' additive does absolutely nothing to help cool the engine. the toyota red stuff is an anti corrosive agent to help prevent oxidisation in the alloy heads. and fwiw robbo, there aint no 5me/7mgte/5sfe/etc specfic corrosion inhibitor. its all the same shit. glycol and all that other stuff is basically antifreeze to stop you rupturing your cooling system if you happen to park your car in chicago overnight in the middle of winter. the ONLY thing you can do with your cooling system to make it work better is to make sure the guts of it is clean to provide adequate heat transfer, and to improve flow. maximising air flow through the radiator is a good idea, as too is MAKING SURE YOUR ENGINE IS RUNNING PROPERLY to begin with. the ONLY thing i can think of you can add to the raditor fluid to improve cooling is redline's "water wetter" which lowers the surface tension of the fluid, which makes the fluid adhere to the engine wall more closely, and helps prevent bubble formation and resultant spot boiling within the system. get a clue guys! yikes!
