Default Wetterwater??

Red Line manufactures a unique wetting agent for cooling systems called WaterWetter which is capable of reducing the coolant temperature of a high-performance vehicle by 15-30°F and can provide even greater reduction in cylinder head temperature which means greater volumetric efficiency and allows more spark advance. WaterWetter also provides rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which can provide additional cooling efficiency & provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. It can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze systems.

Just had a look at the GT3 service schedule regarding coolant change and it says original coolant charge NEVER needs replacing??
Can anyone explain this for me?
Thanks

I used water wetter on my 944 turbo in Florida heat, and it ran slightly cooler. Recommend it, it's cheap too My only problem is, I can't find the coolant tank on my 993, can someone help me?

Yes Greg, open the fuel door and you will find the plastic cap for the coolant. Be careful and don't use too much. Your windshield could ice up.
