re:Also, something interesting. Water, like most solids and liquids, tends to shrink in size (up to a point.) And that point is 4 degrees Celcius. If you cool water below that down toward zero C, which is the freezing point, it actually expands slightly in volume.
yeah, every homeowner knows that! water expands when frozen and bursts the pipes!
super cooled and super heated liquids are strange things, as are non newtonian fluids. (these are fluids that don't generally follow newtons 'laws')
for example.. take a bowl of water (or a pitcher) stir (whirl) it at high speed. (with a mixer/in a blender) and the liquid get 'thrown' to the sides, and upwards.. it moves rapidly in responce to the whirling blades.
now take egg whites.. and watch them.. they don't get flung to the sides, they will (at low speed) climb up the beaters blades (right up to opening for beater to attach to the motor if you are not careful!) STP (oil treatment) does the same thing! (which is why its suppose to be good for your engine.. unlike oil/water/most liquids, it too clings to moving parts, and is not 'flung away' --it adds this cling property to your oil, making it 'cling better' and coat the moving parts with oil better.
i have no idea how well it works in an engine, but its works like a champ in a bowl with a hand mixer!
