I was wondering if anyone has tried this radiator additive made by Royal Purple to lower coolant temps?

It's suppossed to remove "surface tension" from the coolant, I'm thinking that all it removes is 15 bucks from your wallet but I would love to hear testimonials.

I use Water Wetter and it dropped the temps a few degrees. Nothing major but I noticed that it will cool down faster after being stuck at a stoplight. Never used the Royal Purple coolant additive but I use their oil in the Mustang and it dropped my 1/4 mile times a few tenths. They make a good product, Im sure it wont hurt any.

I wanted to find out if anyone used it. I don't want to donate 15 bucks to Royal Purple

In the past I used both (not at the same time) Water Wetter and Purple Ice in my 2 stroke water cooled bikes and quads. Both were about equal in quality and both were in the area of a 15-25* temp drop...

Good stuff in my eyes..
