Another viewpoint. Don't have any scientific research to back it up, just experience. In the old days before cars had A/C, in the warmer climate a weak mixture was used. While Uncle Sam had me stationed in Florida I was winterizing my car for the Christmas trip home, bought 3 gal of A/F, 9 quarts for the 50/50 mix plus some left for topping off. Parts store guy asked how many cars I had, said nobody there used more than 2 quarts, just in case of occasional frost. In later years when A/C became popular, overheating was common problem. Remedy was 50/50 mix from the factory, theory was A/F had better heat transfer capacity. That aside, I think that using straight water in an older machine has resulted in rust & scale buildup in radiator & block, reducing coolant flow & heat transfer. With a good cleaning straight water will probably be okay. More than likely wrong, but that's my theory & I'm sticking to it. Willie
