it depends on what u have for a car or radiator now. u could get a dual core out of a del sol or a neon. or like the guy above me said u can get a good aftermarket one

I agree, water wetter should not have any negative impact on the cooling system. I know several people that use it and haven't had any issues with it. Anyway, if you're not overheating, I wouldn't even worry about it much. But preventative maintenance is always a good idea, I guess! GL
