I always understood that the stuff every one calls antifreeze in reality is
"Coolant" and  coolants were also lubicants for the water pump, and that in
modern engines the coolants are necessary for the cooling systems good
health.

Which brings to mind "Water Pump Lubricants," a class of coolant additive
products I've seen marketed for decades.  I have no idea if they help,
hinder, or just hit the pocket book.  I've never seen any test data nor much
of anything written about them.  Does anyone have any information about
whether or not they help? John
