It's been a while since I've looked at a bottle of the stuff, but as I
recall, there is a warning on the bottle that in regular cars (not
racing cars) you must run it with a standard antifreeze mix, both
because it will not prevent freezing, and because it WILL NOT stop
corrosion.  It's been a while since I've looked, but like I said, I'm
pretty sure it says it right on the side of the bottle.  It does offer
boil-over protection though, I believe.

Oh, and this is one of the few redline products that you can find at
most auto parts stores (autozone, etc.) so next time someone is there,
they can verify my memory.
