I've now read Redline's technical document http://www.redlineoil.com/whitePaper/17.pdf and things become much clearer - perhaps I should have done so before commenting .
Basically, the large temperature reductions claimed are due to running the cooling system on pure water and water wetter. This is not too surprising as pure water has a higher thermal capacity than a water/antifreeze mix.
I'd recommend anybody to read this document before trying it.
