Default Engine Ice in S2000 as Coolant?

I just found this product:

http://www.bikebandit.com/product/9343?WT.mc_id=1199307

Anyone use it in their S2000? Would it be beneficial? And do you mix it with water as standard, or no?

Also, while on the topic, does anyone know if the 2004 S2000 got the long life fluid from Honda? And if not, what kind of real-world problems could it be causing in a car that is still using the stock fluid?

And can you tell which fluid you have by the color?

Wow - $60 to flush out your S2K and replace it with that stuff, versus $26 for OEM Type 2 at dealer prices. How could it possibly be worth it?

If you have an '04 and are still running the original fluid, you may want to get that changed. Probably not a huge deal in FL with freezing, but like any other fluid in your car it needs to be changed out over time/mileage.

I run engine ice on my track bike. Really works well when the bike is moving. Drops it about 7-10degrees. When I had it on the street bike I didnt notice it being any cooler.

right - engine ice or water wetter are good for a track bike/car - not for street.
