You shouldn't need anything extra to "help cool the engine". The cooling system
in our cars was originally built beyond what is necessary to do the job. If the
car overheats, even under the most stressful of routine circumstances, (hot
weather, heavy traffic, high speed driving, etc) there is something else wrong.
