Well, neither one of them is as good as plain water. If freezing is not a
problem for your area, use plain water with Red Line Water Wetter, or a bit
of dish washing liquid soap. It cools better than any antifreeze. Snow belt
folks can use this after freezing is no longer a problem, but should add some
antifreeze in the fall. Never more than 50% antifreeze because you need the
water to cool the engine.
