    yes and no. Water boils at 212° while a 50/50 mix is 225° or so....I think 75/25 coolant/water mix is like 235-240°. It won't cause overheating because you shouldn't be running over 190° or so anyways but it does allow it to boil at a lower temperature. Also, pressure enables a slightly higher boiling point, if you put it under pressure [which it should be] then the boiling points could easily be 10° higher. No matter what the mix if it ever boils then you are overheating and problem is not the mix but somewhere else.
