I'm not using any thing in the radiator but water and a little rust inhibiter. I also do not use a thermostat. You will get a lot of opinions on this subject. This subject and discussions on oil always gets the forum in high gear, lol.

I have to agree 100% with all points. I also add some water wetter.
