Here's why I asked in the first place. I bought some Water Wetter and instead of waiting for the radiator to cool down and pouring it into it, I just poured it into the overflow tank. Than I got to thinking, Will this suck it into the radiator or not ???

For additives it is best to drain or suck some of the coolant out of the cold rad then put the additive in the rad so you know all if it gets into circulation within the cooling system.
