Default Water wetter?

Can you add water wetter to your engine coolant, is it ok for our new engines? I herd that it will lower your engine temp a few degrees.

yes, you can use it. i swear it works, it will drop your temps by at least 10 degrees.

I have a bottle or two in each of my vehicle's cooling systems. Seems to work fine.

Lightbulb I've got it in the SS.

Can't say how well (or if) it works thanks to the dummy temp gauge ...

but, I figured it could not hurt.


Who else sells that other than Pep Boys ?

They sold that Red Line fuel treatment, too - good stuff - and both of the ones on the S.W side of Houston have been closed.

The Boyz are the only ones I know that sell it. It really just makes the heat transfer of the cooling system better, eliminates hotsopts, etc. By making the system more efficient it helps drop temps.

If you want to lower temps very well....drain all the coolant in your truck. Run 20% coolant, a bottle or two of water wetter, and the rest clean distilled or drinking water.

I used to go the the one on Westheimer by Hwy 6...I went there and it was closed! I went to the one off 10 towards downtown. Apparently they just had too many stores and opted to close that one is what the manager said at the other store.
