Redline Water Wetter

Has anyone used Redline Water Wetter and what's your opinion? Is it safe to use it the C5 cooling system?
Thanks :auto:

I have used it and a buddy has used cases of it in his and others cars. It is totally safe. I used Red Line Oil in my car also :D

Re: Redline Water Wetter (57xray)

Im planning to use this with just distilled water in my radiator. A friend competes in various road races (Gamblers Run, Silver State, etc.) and says that Water Wetter and water is sufficient enough to cool his 2002 Z06 running an average of 130mph for the duration of the event. On my next coolant change, i'll eliminate Dexcool from my car.

I used it in my 87 vette and it worked well. May switch to Red Line for the C5. :thumbs: :cheers:

I use it and works great...best results to use with distilled water though.

True: glycol does not have the specific heat capacity of water. So a water + water-wetter can take more heat than (water+clycol) + water wetter.

Re: Redline Water Wetter (Mitch Alsup)

Water Wetter with water will aid in heat transfer, but, the engine running temperature is controlled by the thermostat. Unless you change that the engine will run at the same temp. I have a 178 therm and fan controller. The Wetter made no diff in running temp.
