Radiator drain and fill + Waterwetter
so this past weekend I did a drain and refill on my radiator, nothing crazy but just some new coolant since the miles are getting a little high and its never been changed.
I also added a bottle of Red Line Waterwetter to it. I figured I may as well give it a shot, cant hurt. well after driving it around for a few days ive noticed that the temp will dip into the 180's while cruising. now I have never noticed it ever dropping that low, and im not sure if I can give credit to the new coolant or the waterwetter but either way im a happy camper.  just figured id throw it out there if anyone was curious about possibly trying it out.

Oh so it's really just a temporary thing you add as needed? And then have to drain? Well I didn't realize that...

I doubt water wetter causes any problems. It is used extensively on this forum and by many others with no negative results.

I used water wetter when I changed out the old corvette coolant. Also a new radiator, water pump, hoses, belts and thermostat. No more temp problems.
92º+ here seven months out of the year. 10 days until reveal! woo-hoo!
