The benefit I think is most useful it how it helps your vehicle warm up to proper operating temp faster. This should result in a fuel economy increase, less stress on the drive train (longer life), and get your heater working faster so you don't freeze your butt off in the winter.
Check this out for the benefits of it's heat reduction:

Almost all of these products claim to warm up the coolant faster which makes sense if you understand the basic idea behind them.
I'm running the hy-per lube super coolant in my truck and I have to say it warms up faster than it did before in the cold months. I know this is the same as using a "butt dyno", but i pay close attention to my truck via a scanguage type product and I can see a difference in warm up times.
No matter what I say you will keep using it.
Hopefully others will save there money and just properly maintain their vehicles.
Although there is no way to prove it I would bet that a number of folks pushing the benefits of these "bitter water" products (the coolant version of snake oil LOL) are possibly stealth marketers.
