| Aug 3, 2016 at 21:35 | comment | added | DucatiKiller | The implication is water cooled vs. oil cooled IMO. It seems to me there is a very clear distinction. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 21:25 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | This question doesn't make much sense to me. Automotive engines use oil, whether it's "liquid" cooled or not. Cooling is just one of the jobs of oil. Some of the other things it does is reduce friction, lubricate, and clean. I've not heard of oil being used in place of a water-antifreeze based coolant. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 21:20 | comment | added | Moab | Depends on the application which is most efficient. Most applications water-glygol is more efficient. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 20:37 | comment | added | BraveNinja | I mean the coolant generally used in cars (the green color liquid) vs oil cooling. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 20:12 | comment | added | BraveNinja | For a motorcycle engine. And also for a car, if I were ever offered to choose between the two. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 20:09 | comment | added | Moab | cooling for what? Oil cooling is much more stable than water-glycol systems but costs more. | |
