I got a bottle of Redline Water Wetter but am unsure how much I should add to the cooling system. Should I just pour the whole bottle in there?

Thanks

I used about a half-bottle. I don't think the whole bottle would cause a problem. The e36 guys use two bottles for their fan delete mod...

So do I just pour it into the expansion tank?

hold it near the tail pipe and tell your engine to suck it up:D
or you could pour it into the expansion tank.

Thanks for the response. haha. I figured this much but wasn't sure. I apologize to the community for my bone-headed question.

Only problem is I don't consider myself that new at this. I just ask some dumb questions.

I pour mine in the pre-mix first, just to get it all mixed up nicely. I use 2 gallons of distilled water, then a jug of coolant, then a bottle of WW. I always seem to spill a lot of coolant properly bleeding the car.

I keep a leftover gallon mixed in the jug (bungeed on the battery tray) for when the car boils over.

I just poured the whole bottle in their and I have already noticed that the temps hold steady just below the halfway mark regardless of how I drive. I need to do a coolant flush this summer anyways so I will use another bottle with the fresh coolant.

I've never actually used water wetter with anti-freeze, so I'm not sure how much of an effect it may have. We used to use it in straight water we ran in a race car, and that made it better than just water for sure.
