I should change my hoses and coolant when the weather gets warmer.
I sometimes think about the waterless coolant. From reading up on it, one of the benefits is that it allows a zero pressure cooling system- less odds of leaking.
To do that, they say to get a Zero PSI radiator cap.
Is that something that can be readily obtained from some normal source, or will it be a proprietary item with a high price.
Also, some of the information on the waterless coolant refers to being able to run a higher temperature thermostat (215) which apparently boosts MPG. Are those available through ordinary channels, or, again, is it a special item? Not entirely sure I'd go with the higher T-stat, as then my transmission cooler is suddenly sitting in higher-temperature surroundings (might need to go with a totally separate transmission cooler, and then this all starts adding up $$$). But I'd like to know whether the 215*F T-stat is readily available.
Thanks
