I always drain my anti-freeze for the summer for obvious reasons and run a coolant like
"Liquid performance Racing Coolant" and also use an oil coolant which decreases motor temperatures.
Generally a coolant specific product will keep your motor much cooler than anti-freeze.

I haven't had any problems draining the anti-freeze it's pretty easy.
The oil coolant is called " High Lifter Motor Cool" and you can get it at Dennis Kirk if not at a local shop.
My quad does seem to run cool but I use the products on advice from a tech I know who races and works
at a local shop. I figure it can't hurt.

I just added Water Wetter. I haven't had the chance to really put it to the test but I did notice that at idle the fan runs for a shorter duration than before. I am hoping to add a temp gauge soon. On the couple of short trips I did take, when I was cruising at 25-30 mph, the fan never did come on. I thought about Engine Ice but I wanted to maintain my anti-freeze ability. Besides that, it was alot cheaper and was considerably easier to add to the system.

Has anyone tried the "Engine Ice" or the Performance cooling fluid, and dos it really work at keeping your motor cooler in summer heat?

I just ordered a jug of Liquid performance Racing Coolant, is it fairly simple to drain radiator fluid from a quad? And do you like the coolant so far? Ive never seen an oil coolant. Were do i find that?
