Mine doesn’t spill out but it definitely boils.

Fair enough. I can't say I've seen a rolling boil in the reservoir. So you're probably right. Definitely hitting breakdown temps though. Is that 220F temp threshold just for stock fluid or even the Redline stuff?

Mine spits with the Redline fluid. But it's stock PS cooler.
