I've run Evans in VW's, Honda's, Honda motorcycles, Kawasaki motorcycles, Ford's, GM's, Nissan's, BMW's and more without problems.
Its worked perfectly in particularly coolant sensitive machines like Honda bikes, the VW's and the BMW's..
What you have to look at is the following, is Toyota/Honda/BMW/VW/GM/Mopar/etc.. going to tell you about a coolant that doesn't have to be replaced because of additive package degradation??
I've run two cars more than 150,000 miles on Evans with no coolant system issues.
I have yet to have to change a water pump on any of my Honda motorcycles (which are known for failing seals even with Honda's own coolant).
