All I can find on the product is the usual marketing nonsense. I have 
not been able to find any independent research that indicates its 
positive influences.
It may reduce CO emissions, increase NOx emissions and make the engine a 
bit more efficient as the operating temperature can be set higher. You 
can fit The 10% fuel reduction is a laugh though. In my opinion a waste 
of time and money.
Water mixed with anti freeze or water based coolant has a better heat 
transfer than waterless coolant
If you fit a hotter thermostat and a 10lbs-15lbs radiator cap you can 
have the same result. In all circumstances the radiator needs to be of 
sufficient cooling capacity, also with waterless coolant (perhaps even 
more so).
Older cars do often have less efficient radiators from new, worsened by 
years of sludge and calcification, so the first step is to have your 
cooling system clean and in good shape. Any other remedy for overheating 
is absolutely pointless.
