I wouldn't use it in a road car, maybe in a race car.

Water wetter is just a high temperature detergent that reduces surface tension & hence improves the 'wet out' of the coolant. You can mix it with glycol based coolants without issue.

I like it.

Pink is oat coolant, go to a subaru dealer and buy the genuine coolant.

It's a bit of a thread hijack as my question is not technically coolant related, but does anyone know what the factory settings are, at what temp the thermo fans should come on? engine is N/A 2.0 boxer fitted to a work mates trike, he was concerned after reaching 90 deg. at a level crossing and fan didn't cut in. Thanks in advance for any help.
Craig.
