On hot summer days when disking I had to carry a jug of water to replenish the system from steam loss and one winter I forgot to drain the water from the engine block and sure enough it cracked. Luckily I was able to patch it with a steel plate, epoxy and bolts. Sounds like the Evans coolant would have solved those problems and you could say it has 'green' potential. Good to know about the tranny oil also. I'll keep that in mind. On a side note, I switched to running Mobil 1 synthetic oil in the motor of my 06 Mustang and had a problem with losing oil around 2k miles. No oil leaks, no smoking and no signs of discoloration or film at the tail pipes. Switched back to standard oil and have no problems now. Thank for the link!
