YES BUT IN MY SITUATION MY CAR`S BOIL POINT WAS SO MUCH LOWER THAT WHEN THE GAUGE WAS SAYING 213 IT WAS BOILING OVER AND BOILING IN THE RADIATOR.
WHEN I MIXED THE PROPER AMOUNT OF COOLANT/WATER THE BOILING PROBLEM STOPPED.
I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE COOLANT RAISES THE BOIL POINT AS WELL AS THE CORRISION PROTECTION
