Though my unmodified 2.0 16V engine had a slight preexisting oil leak at the head gasket, I've not noticed any changes in its condition since Evans was introduced to the system. Would like to go to metal someday, regardless.
I think it's benefits outweigh the cons, but I feel my plan to add an external oil cooler to do the coolant's job is a bit daft!

This reminds me of one other thing I would recommend.  If you are interested in using Evans, I believe you should use an air to oil cooler, or at least disable the one you have.  The oil to coolant cooler will actually now make the oil hotter since Evans runs at higher temperatures.  I bought a Euro setup, and I have not had any trouble.

Ah, yes I remember this discussion from before. I suppose I never quite put 2 and 2 together and figured out that this setup kept my engine oil cooler. I guess I'll just have to add it to my to-do list.
