you dont have to use any antifreeze in an engine if you live in warm climates. you can run water but corrosion will set in. Use Water Wetter with the water. It has anti corrisive agents of that of antifreeze in it. Water has superior heat tranfer of any other glycol based coolants.

Why do racecars use it?

1. water is free
2. it evaporates
3. easy to clean up
4. better heat transfer than antifreeze
5. lower engine temperature, you can run more timing

I wouldnt use straight water without a corrosion inhibitor like Water Wetter.

All water pumps that i have put it are sealed bearings. How do you lube a water pump?

That was actually a very intelligent post

Water wetter is one of several products like it that keep the corrosion down.. Most pumps can't actually be lubed, but what can is the seals that seal the water/coolant from coming out around the shaft.. I had already caught that in the original post but thought it was already hard enough getting him to understang the fact that a catch can don't catch coolant from a broke radiator, broken block, blown headgasket, etc...
