Is this true?

Can I just dump some red line in my 50 50 mix in my rad? or no?

I keep seeing that on this board, but nowhere else have i seen it. I dont run only water in any of the cars, and I have used wetting agents in the cars (with E/G coolant).

Good luck.

I meant to post before that I dont believe that they cannot be mixed and would really like to see some info that they should not be.

(Gary, that was not directed at you, but rather for the folks who keep posting the info that they cannot be mixed).

Water wetter can be mixed with coolant. if you dont live in a place that gets to cold in the winter times.. you can have a 30% coolant mix and 70% water and the water wetter additive and it will run cooler in a hot summer day then a 50/50 mix of coolant + water. I proved that on my 03 Cobra in summer days here in Las Vegas of 100 degrees plus

Yep, water transfers heat 2.6 times more efficiently than E/G coolant.
