water wetter

can you just add the bottle to the coolant/water in the system and let the overflow handle the ratio? It says one bottle coolant system.
Or is everyone draining adding mixture?

It's fairly easy to siphon out the 12 or 16 oz you need to put the redline back in. Works well...

I run this stuff in my race car, since you can't run coolant at the track. Just straight water and a bottle. I never noticed any cooler but worked just like coolant....

would i need to drain any out?

I've read that some people drain 2qts out, pour 1 bottle of water wetter (1/3 quart) and pour 1 and 2/3 qt of distilled water

Are you guys doing this/talking about this to drop the temperatures you see on your gauge? Because that's oil temperature, not coolant temperature.

of course not...
this is for coolant temps since the 335i coolant system lacks during high heat days when tracking the car
