Question Waterless coolant

Have any of you any experience with this product? Just read about in the the UK publication, "911 & Porsche World and it sounds good. Pricey but you only have to do it once. If this has been covered on this forum already I am not aware of it so don't flame to much.

Interesting concoction...I am at least intrigued maybe not for my Porsche but maybe in my race bike and or dual sport.

I am going to be interested in what others have to say on this...

I'm waterless

About 12 quarts of Mobil V-Twin 20W50. Yes, this is a motorcycle engine oil. My engine is just a B I G motorcycle engine.

Well unless you are driving in zero percent humidity, air contains some water in the form of vapor and is thus not truly waterless

I do not drive in the rain, or if there is a 30% chance of rain. And when I store the car for winter I use several pounds of desiccant in the cabin to keep humidity very-very low.

Oh yeah, I run nitrogen in the tires, to further reduce moisture there too.
