Im not sure if that does, but I used a product one gallon for 15 bucks, and IT DOES WORK, got about a 15 degree drop......Cant remember the name, but got it at O' Reileys.......I really like it........Cant say it will for everone, but it did for me........Anyone else used this stuff???? It says on the can "Cools like ice water".....You know what it might have been that stuff, will look at the can at work tomorrow...Tom

i would say that products such as purple ice, water wetter help is minimal.
its not a magic fix for an overheating problem.

that being said, i run about 85% water, the rest consisting of green coolant and water wetter. Temps rarely get cold enough out here (26* maybe twice per year). Typical temps at 190

No it will not solve a "Real" overheating problem, but that said, they do make a difference...These things have been around along time, they are just now becoming really widely know...Tom
