Default I've read that it's much better for cooling your engine, but doesn't have any anti-freeze properties

so don't use it in a cold climate! In fact, plain water is supposed to be better at cooling the engine compared to standard coolant.

Default Water Wetter is a coolant additive, not a coolant.

You use it <i>with</i> your antifreeze. Helps reduce the surface tension of the coolant to help it flow into every nook and cranny in the block.

Water Wetter is said to work optimally in a coolant mixture that's mostly water, but that's not convenient for most people's daily drivers. It still does a good job with a water/antifreeze mixture.

Default gimmick. several companies have tested these agents.... plain water is always the best,

you may want additives for anti-corrosion or anti-freeze. but for cooling efficiency nothing is better than plain water.
