Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

For a street-driven car, it gains you pretty much nothing--your thermostat keeps you at the proper operating temperature all day long, the only time Water Wetter helps is if you're running on the ragged edge.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Opinion:Redline water wetter in coolant Anyone use it? Make a difference? Thanks guys.

POST 2Original post

I use it in my Ductai race bike. Really helps the bike run cooler and is not slippery in a (God forbid) crash. Never used it in the car.

POST 3Original post

We carry this for you.........but do you really need it? http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.16

POST 4Original post

Water Wetter is very useful if you're racing. For a street-driven car, it gains you pretty much nothing--your thermostat keeps you at the proper operating temperature all day long, the only time Water Wetter helps is if you're running on the ragged edge.

POST 5Original post

Seems like the Box's have a fairly good cooling system. Even on the track my engine temp never got near the red, even in SC on a hot day in June. Around town on hot asphalt I haven't noticed any problems - but then I haven't sat motionless in a traffic jam for an hour yet -
