Honda-tech.com about Redline Water Wetter by BlackDeuceCoupe
here is the good stuff:
------------------------------------
quote:
I use Water Wetter year around, but I don't recommend it for most ppl. Water Wetter is a surfactant/wetter/spreader - take your pick. What that means is it allows your coolant to do a better job when the going gets tough. How does it work?
When, and if, the water jackets in your CiViC start to boil the coolant, it forms large air bubbles on the surface[s]. Air does NOT conduct heat as well as fluid, so this is a very bad thing. Water Wetter breaks up the air bubbles, allowing more coolant to contact the walls, making a critical improvement in cooling over water and/or antifreeze by itself IN EXTREME CONDITIONS.
Having said that, there is no such thing as a free lunch...
Water Wetter contains borates and silicates which are bad for Honda engines; not as bad as overheating, but bad all the same. Water Wetter's pH is off the scale. That's why it has borates/silicates in it. Red Line says the pH is low, but that is ONLY when it's fresh and new. However, around 15,000 miles, the borates/silicates start to fail and Water Wetter will begin the process of corroding your cooling system.
Read and heed Red Line's instructions on the label. If you decide to run Water Wetter, be aware:
1) Mix it according to the instructions. That would be 32:1, coolant to Water Wetter, or 4 oz. of Water Wetter in a typical Honda CiViC cooling system. DO NOT ADD MORE THAN 4 OUNCES OF WATER WETTER TO YOUR COOLING SYSTEM!!!
2) Follow the instructions and dump 'n' flush your coolant ever 15,000 miles. Word!
3) Don't use Water Wetter unless you are willing to do the above. Consider it a necessary evil for some --- and simply an evil for everyone else...
-----------------------
From the amount of research I have done, everything he has said backs up the information I have found.
It not only applies to Honda engines, but I have heard of Redline Water Wetter corroding the water seals in rotaries as well.
SUMMARY:
1) Follow instructions on the RWW bottle
2) Dump & flush system once a year (or every 24,000KM)
3) Do not use it unless you follow 1 & 2. |

Here is an independent study (not THE best & THE most accurate, but it's good) on the tread life of the infamous Falken Azenis Sports
As I have also come to realize through viewing numerous posts on the treadlife of these tires, obtaining ~30,000 daily driven street kilometers out of them would prove to be the maximum amount of mileage Azenis' can handle.
Obviously these are all assumptions and are not 100% correct, but for those considering these fabulous tires, this helps a lot :D
