Anyone have any experience with WaterWetter(r)? The elixir isn't cheap, but any addl help I can give my old bricks as they adjust to the DC heat would be good. I am mainly trying to find out if there is any downside to this stuff in older engines...

Read this review first:

The best thing to do is make sure you have a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. If you have anything else, flush it. Use either a G05 antifreeze or OEM, as the rest play havoc on the pump and radiator.

If your car is consistantly reading hot, you may have another problem, like ECT sensor or thermostat.

Fleet is fine right now, I am just looking for an edge as we adjust to our new home in the south.
