It will depress it - but I'll bet not nearly as much as the
glycols. And the oil probably doesn't raise the boiling point
very much either.

Craig, Good question, and one I do not presently have the answer to. I'll
en devour to make a stop at the shop in next few days and ask that question.
Also, question what the water soluble oil does to freeze point of water.
another question that needs answer.

Had a radiator shop owner tell me to run straight distilled water with
water soluble oil [machine cutting fluid oil, like is used in CNC
machines.] instead of water / antifreeze mix. His claim is, internal
corrosion and block rust doesn't happen using that cutting oil/ water mix,
and straight water
Water is fine but your overflow tank will turn orange after a bit.
Prob check the compression to be sure the head isnt too warped and the
gasket is ok.

I had a water pump promptly die in a 123 car, when I ran it for a few days with

it was simply time for the pump to die.

On a strange car, I usually put in water if weather permits. Then run

for antifreeze.
