Scott,
I have a generally good impression about Red Line products and use their
synthetic oils in my transmission and differential. I have on a couple of
occasions in the past used WaterWetter, although I can't say I saw any
noticeable effect on operating temperature in my case. I believe that
WaterWetter is primarily designed to help with cooling systems that use
100% water. On the other hand, I infer from their sales pitch that it may
not be very useful when your coolant is more than 30% glycol. In fact, they
sell a special version for engines that use more than this percentage
glycol coolant. See, for example, the Red Line Web page that describes this
product:
http://www.redlineoil.com/watrwet.htm
I would be interested to hear what other people who have used it more
extensively than I have to say.
BTW, a lot of people would be very happy to have their Tigers running only
210F on a hot day. ;-)
TTFN,
Bob
