Nah. In my experience it’s normally dudes that cause this problem by pouring cold coolant into a hot engine. Hot engine block plus cold fluid = BAD. The engine block cracks. If you ever need to add coolant only do it when your vehicle is cold (If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait for the engine to cool make sure the engine is ON and you add coolant slowly). If this only happened because someone just poured the wrong fluid into the wrong hole, hell yeah, because I’d rather do a clean out then have to replace my whole god damn engine.
I am familiar with it, however if your engine cracks from room temp coolant you have a crap product. We do it all the time and that never happens. 20 years now and not once. Buy a better product.

Wow if your engine block cracks because you put room temp coolant in, you should consider a better make of vehicle. That’s ridiculous.
