Admittedly I did not read the entire Evans Web Site, but one subject I did not find covered in the reading I did was the matter of water pump lubricant. It is my understanding that one of the reasons for periodic replacement of the current crop of anti-freezes is that the additive for lubricating the water pump either dissipates or wears out.

If the Evans coolant lasts 300,000 miles or more, what provision is there for the continued lubrication of the water pump? I did notice that in at least one of their long term tests they stated that no major parts were replaced. Is a water pump considered a minor part?

Hope someone can shed some light on this question for me. Thanks.
