Rad Coolant Question

Postby Steinke » Sat May 17, 2014 4:45 pm

Getting the bikes ready for this years track day events and before I swap out my rad coolant want to post this question.
In the past I have used Water Wetter but I saw this product yesterday "Engine Ice" - is this an approved alternate one can use? Reading the specs it is biodegradable and phosphate free which is a plus to the environment and also provides freeze protection so you don't have to swap back and forth every season.
I also saw Mo Cool made by Motul. Any suggestions / alternatives to water wetter appreciated.
Thanks
Steinke

Hi Steinke,
You can't go wrong with distilled water and Water Wetter, the rules and regs can be found under the events menu and they state that propylene glycol is not acceptable.
See you at the track, Jeff 8)

I went to Canadian tire yesterday looking for water wetter and after searching , i asked and they don't have it any more. I got a product called hy-per lube, they say is the same thing ?? it says nothing on the bottle about what is make up is .
Hope its good to use.

Any one know where to find water wetter made by redline ??

Royal Distributing carries water wetter. At least the one in Guelph does. Was there on Saturday.

Checked out Hyper Lube website. Sounds very similar to Water wetter. Here are a couple quotes.
• Complete protection from rust, corrosion
and electrolysis
• Contains no anti-freeze, safe for use
on all racetracks
Can be found at WalMart, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts
Also is cheaper than water wetter. $15.99 at Canadian Tire compared to $21.99 for water wetter.

Last time I saw Engine Ice ... as I recall... it was very slippery. Slippery just like anti-freeze, so it isn't a good choice.
