quick questions about cooling
guys, help me out here, I just bought a bottle of Redline Water Wetter, how much amount should I put in???? should I also put some water in as well? but my coolant tank is already full, what should I do? do i drain some out? since my old coolant is green and the water wetter is red, will it turn orange/yellow once i mix it??? if anyone know please tell me, i've used the search button and found nothing, people are just keep saying "it's good stuff, it's good stuff...blahblahblah" i don't wanna waste my $10. thanks.

Seriously bro, have you taken the time to research things like this (and not on this board but elsewhere)? You seem to post questions AFTER you have purchased something. Take the time to educate yourself. It's worth the effort. 
BTW, does it have any type of instructions? Is there anything on the bottle?

Just pour it in. All of it. If you think there will be too much, take some coolant out first.
It definately helps. I plan on using water wetter in all my cars from now on.
If you're in a state that doesn't freeze, you can get even better cooling by lowering coolant down to the 30% range instead of 50%.

instrution on the bottle is not very clear, cuz the lady at the motorcycle shop who sell me this little bottle told me that she don't know of anyone who have use water wetter on CAR, and this little water wetter is usually used on racing motorcycle with a little bit of water. that's y i have my concern, i've done a searh on the redline product (same **** on the bottle), search on rx7 forum, some say use evan and some say use redline, but they didn't explain any instrution or how to mix them.

USE DIRECTIONS
One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water or a
50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution. In smaller
cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart. Add directly
through the cooling system fill cap into the radiator or
into the overflow tank. Do not open a cooling system
while hot. For best protection for aluminum, replenish
or replace every 15,000 miles. The anti-scaling ingredients
in Red Line WaterWetter® allow its use with
ordinary tap water. However, using with distilled or
deionized water will accomplish some scale removal
in the cylinder head area. Plain water with or without
WaterWetter® should not be used in cooling systems
containing magnesium - antifreeze should be used -
with WaterWetter®. For maximum temperature
reductions use the most water and the least
antifreeze possible to prevent freezing in your climate.
Even in summertime the use of air-conditioning
can blow freezing air through the heater and cause
freezing of the heater core unless approximately 20%
antifreeze is used. Red Line WaterWetter® is available
in 12 ounce containers.

I would say look up the coolant capacity in your manual. Drain out the the old, do some math, and put in new 20%-30% (if you're in a warm climate) coolant soultion, minus the amount of watter wetter you will use. Continue filling with the water wetter.
