Works best if you use a 70/30 mix of water/antifreeze. It just incesases the heat transfer coefficient of the water.

You probably won't notice any temperature difference according to your gauge, but the stuff does work. Maybe on cold nights you may see some change.

it works ok , but what works better is if you put a drop or 2 of liquid hand soap in there.....does the same thing as watter wetter , but better , and is alot cheaper since you prolly have it in your house right now. and now im not joking.

instead of wiring it up to a switch just wire it up to your ignition so when you turn the power on it turns on...a switch is forgetfull somtimes
