How much is TOO much?

Radiator and oil cooler as these guys said. As for driving in winter, the only real thing I ever noticed was I just had to let my car warm up a little longer than normal on real cold days.

As for coolant Vs water, pure water will have a boiling point of 212F, Pure ethylene glycol's boiling point is 387F. A 50/50 mix is normally around 230F.

From a engineering standpoint I would think the boiling points would actually be some what higher as it's a pressurized system.

Higher pressure = Higher boiling point.
