HEET

Is it safe to use HEET (or other gas-line antifreeze formulas) in our cars (2005+ V6s), and are they actually needed? I live in the midwest ...

RE: HEET

i never use addatives. I don't trust em...i can't see you needing this type of thing in the midwest. Have you had any problems thus far?

RE: HEET

I've had issues with my other cars (an 86 300zx v6 manual and a 2006 Mazda) which has difficulty starting without HEET.

RE: HEET

hmmm, i have never had cold start problems. I wouldn't do it unless you really start having a problem with the car, but i really HATE addativies, so i am kinda against it.

RE: HEET

If you burn ethanol you shouldn't need it. However, i know that when we were getting temps of -20 to -40 (not this year, thank God) I would put some in, it just made me feel better.
