Heat transfer rate is the biggest problem when going away from water to any other liquid for cooling. Even antifreeze mixtures will not transfer heat as effectivly as water and too strong a mixture can cause an engine to overheat. I have cured several heating problems by simply replacing a too strong antifreeze mixture with a 50/50 mix. You can get rid of the heat from the cooling liquid by using a larger radiator but the real problem is not transferring the heat from the engine into the cooling liquid. The engine can overheat but the coolant will not be boiling.
