Personally, using the Water Wetter is a great idea, especially with the water boxers cylinder design. However, I would stick with the 50/50 antifreeze mixture for corrosion protection and the water pump lube. Dennis

What say you to this? I'm thinking of adding just one gallon of coolant instead of two, and adding a bottle of water wetter. Then every three months adding another bottle of water wetter to compensate for the corrosion inhibitors that are "used up". Has anyone done this? Redline states that street engines are to have at least 15% coolant when adding Redline Water Wetter, and Water Wetter and Water are supposed to run cooler than Water Wetter and Water and Coolant....
