Jesus,

I have been running water wetter in both radiators since 100 miles on the odometer. I put one bottle in each radiator and forgot about it. No problems at all.

Enjoy!

Welcome!

Are you the guy I talked to by the post office the other day?

Red Line Water Wetter is a radiator additive that cuts down on cavitation (due to boiling) by reducing the surface tension between the water/antifreeze and the metal innards of the radiator. It also aids in heat transfer, making the radiator more efficient. This is all supposed to make the engine run cooler and as a result run better. It can be found at most auto parts stores, Wal-Mart, K-mart, and just about anywhere you can get oil & such.

All I know for certain, is I never see any heat related issues w/the Beast, even last summer in the worst the SW Freeway had to throw at me, if you've ever had to exit at W. Airport (or William's Trace or Highway 6) during rush hour, you know what I'm talking about.

I've been using waterwetter for over 7000 miles already, coolant level is still okay and no heat problems. I use mostly water in the mixture with 25% coolant/anti-freeze, which is what Redline recommended for my application.

I've been using water wetter for years in various cars/trucks -never had any problems.

I believe redline recomends about 1oz WW per quart radiator capacity.
