FOT,
We have good experiences with Wizard as well. They have been reliable and th=
e quality is very good. As some people feel that oil coolers are a consumab=
le a item, our research indicates the same may be true for aluminum radiator=
s in cars with cast iron blocks. There are things that can be done to help t=
hem live for years. However, they eventually need to be replaced due to the r=
elationship of cast iron, aluminum, water and electrical current.=20
Also, I would say NEVER run any type of coolant stop leak product with an al=
uminum radiator, especially with an iron block. You will plug the radiator v=
ery-very quickly. Not to mention the mess the stops leaks product makes whe=
re your block and head ports are supposed to be able to move coolant. If yo=
u are swapping fluids, find the leak and fix it correctly.=20
I am on year 5 with the last wizard that I purchased and it is still doing g=
ood.=20
