Evans does not expand when hot, therefore it runs at zero pressure when at temperature. It also doesn't boil until much hotter than conventional coolant. Supposedly it also has the same heat transfer ability as standard coolant.
Plus, it's legal for most drag strips that forbid coolant.
Mostly for me in the XKR, it's for lowered pressure cuz leaky hoses and such.
For my Mustang, it's for Drag Strip Regulations.

Mine stays in the barn until the temps stay above 60, top goes down the day I take it out, and work very hard to keep it down until I put it away again in late Oct.
Should be another couple of weeks here in Northern MI. right now it's 28 and snowing.
Besides, I just took delivery on a new Lincoln Aviator, so right now that's my fun car.

imho, cars are meant to be driven… with the right tires for the conditions, have at it. The balance in these cars is nothing less than exceptional and it shows in all weather and road conditions.
I may have pulled the trigger too early and put the new summers’ on (taking the all seasons off). With morning temperatures around 5C, it just means a more involved warm up strategy![Icon Headbang](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_headbang.gif)
Happy Easter Everybody!

Zero system pressure (nominally) is a huge benefit, especially in cars with plastic pipes and I'd say quite worth the effort.

Not HARD at all, other than getting to the thermostat twice. It's kind of expensive, but also good for 200,000+ miles as long as it stays clean. The system has to be evacuated, run a Prep Fluid through it to remove any residual water/coolant, then purged again and then filled with the Evans Coolant. Probably about $200 all-in, plus time and effort.
