The answer depends on what kind of engine you have.
That depends on what kind of engine he has.
That's ELC, as in Extended Life Coolant. And it's an ELC that's rated CAT EC-1, not ELC1.

I haven't used the Ice but do use the Redline Water Wetter. Cheap additive and certainly causes no harm. The surface tension is similar to what you'll see if you boil a pot of water - if the water is boiling then the pot has areas where the water doesn't contact it. The additive reduces that tension and allows the coolant to fully contact all of the coolant tracts. Theoretically the coolant should raise the boiling point and so surface tension should be at a higher temperature but all engines have hotter areas where this can certainly make a difference.
