They work.
Not to the tune of 50 degrees, but they do work. If you want a little leeway before you overheat, it will give you this. If you want this stuff to replace a plugged radiator or bad cooling sysetm your going to be disappointed.

Engine ice does reduce by UP to 50 degrees. Its also safe all year round, down to below like 30 degrees freezing. Its a little spendy, but its worth it. I ordered mine, and you just drain your radiator, and replace it with Engine Ice radiator fluid.

Liquid Performance Racing Coolant lowers by about 25 degrees, a little less than Engine Ice, but its good at a lower subzero temp than Engine Ice. Its what i use right now, and in Minnesota, it gets pretty cold! I havnt had a problem yet, but im switching to Engine Ice because i want a cooler summer ride

all those stuff:water wetter (red line) engine ice,royal purple ice,all those additive work great but ONLY during very high heat temp range,i suggest you to get very good quality coolant like maxima coolanol or the best is motul motocool for factory line radiator,very high boiling point and help alot to reduce engine heat and is able to run down
to -35 celcius degree,no need to add any aaditive,,i even remember polaris warned owners to not use those additive in sleds so in the quads it should be the same ways...
