The product has been around a long time for whatever that's worth... more than 10 years... I used to know a bunch of amateur racers (SCCA) who swore by the stuff, however IIRC it doesn't do anything for freeze protection, only reduces engine temps by being a catalyst for heat exchange.

So, anyone have any experience with Redline "Water Wetter"? <http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp> I was extolling the pains and virtues of wasserboxer ownership to a customer at work, specifically the fun of having to procure 17.5l of 50:50 Pentosin:water mix to fill the cooling system with the Pentosin blue going for $5 a liter, when he suggested Water Wetter as a possibility. According to him, you add a pint for every five gallons or so of distilled water and it works better than traditional coolant mixes. Sounds too good to be true to me. Is this product on par with Redline synthetic ATF, gear oil, and motor oil; or is it just another Slick-50 or Turbonator?
