Can anyone point me in the direction of a write up about exactly what WW does and how it works? I've been meaning to read up about it and mybe try it, and it's just kept slipping my mind.

Thanks guys. So my car should run cooler at idle with this in it. I hit the third mark and then the fans kick on and then it drops to the first mark. I have been told this is normal, but I want to try this water wetter to see if it actually helps. I am guessing this will do the trick.
Thanks again

Sorry to jump in but is watter wetter even required in our cars?

I run a local red coloured coolant here, phosphate free and car runs like a champ in summer (the highest we got was a 129F this summer) and with a/c on and redlined it for long periods and had no problems........

I hope you don't plan on keeping that mix in there for the winter. WW will not provide adequate corrosion inhibition or anti-freeze protection as a standalone additive with distilled water.
