Redline Water Wetter Worked Great!
Flushed radiator on 97 GLE. Used Peak Extended Life Antifreeze, it has no silicates, no phosphates, no borates and one other thing I can't remember. Cost $8.01 at Pep Boys, Nissan Dealer wanted $16.50 for their Antifreeze (over twice as much - not worth it). Also added 6 ounces of Red Line Water Water, engine is running over 10 degrees cooler. The stuff works, the AC puts out 38 degree air with an ambient temperature of 95 degrees. The Redline Water Wetter was $6.00 for 12 ounces. Great Product
Be well!!!!

I guess there is a possible downside with this stuff also.

I just had my car's cooling system serviced at Nissan today. Picked it up and went to my local Speed Shop to buy some goodies. Red Line Water Wetter was right in front of me so I said WFT and picked it up. I haven't put it in yet, now I'm wondering if I even should?
On a second note upon looking around the shop a bit I found the Folia Tec caliper paint in Silver for 39 bucks.
Care to guess what my next project might be?

I just e-mailed the guy who gave a negative review.
He had problems with gelatinous pea-sized solids in his coolant. Well, I actually had a similar problem with the same thing, but the coolant never had any Redline WW in it.
I flushed the system, and put in an approximate 35-40/65-60 coolant/distilled water mixture, with probably around a bottle of Water Wetter. Despite a neon orangy color (lime green+pinkish red) the fluid is ultra clean, and I hope it stays that way.
edit: Here is the e-mail that was undeliverable to him...guess he doesn't have that address anymore:
I read your informative review on the Water Wetter product. I currently use Water Wetter with no problem. But, would you elaborate more on the gelatious globules that formed in your coolant? What color was it?
see the thing is, I had something similar to that, but I didn't have Redline Water Wetter. The previous owner of the car never put that kind of additive, yet to my surprise I saw lots of solids at the top of the liquid in the reservoir.
With Redline WW in my car now with an approximate 35-40/65-70 antifreeze/water ratio, I have no problems.
thanks for your help.

how tough is it to flush the cooling system? y does it have anything to do with the AC system? if i wanted to add RWW, though i am not sure right now..., should i flush the system and mix the coolant before filling? are there any tutorials for flushing the cooling system?

Tutorials: Great ones are found in the Hayne's manual. Spend the $15. Worth every penny.
I'm not aware of any interrelation between the engine's cooling system & the car's A/C in terms of shared efficiency either (had the same reaction as you on that). As far as I know, engine cooling efficiency has no bearing on the A/C's ability to operate efficiently. They are separate systems, altogether.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this. . .

well, i guess i am going to have to flush my coolant
what is the recommended mixture of antifreeze, water and water wetter, since obviously it is easy to hit the wrong PH with a 50/50 mix of AF and water (with 5oz WW added)?

The gel dropout is from Silicone used in the Redline Water wetter formula. IMO everyone should use Redline Diesel water wetter. It doesn't contain any silicates. The same goes for antifreeze, silicate free antifreeze should be used.
