They engineer the thing. I wonder how the oil is distributed in the system? It is not water soluble, and should just sit on top of the coolant in pockets, I would think. But, I don't know much about water and oil mixtures, maybe. I have seen systems that had oil leak into the coolant get a salad dressing like material accumulating in the radiator and coolant bottle. mcneely |
