Wetter water in a 1998 Mercedes?

My local Advanced Auto Parts has Wetter Water, my question is, are there different types of Wetter Water for different cars?

I came across a web site that sold different (at least that's what they said) types of Wetter Water depending on your car.

I'd like to run Wetter Water in my 1996 Dodge truck and my 1998 C280, can I use the same stuff?



Thanks guys

Water Wetter

I had a mechanic who raced a CSL and totally believed in Red Line's Water Wetter. In that he did incredible work on the Porsche's I owned and seemed truly honest, I used the product ever since. He was also a strong believer in Castroil which I also used until the synthetics came out (and I moved to Southern California).

You put the product in your radiator fluid....it keeps the engine running cooler. I am a believer. I have it in my 1995 m3. my car used to warm up pretty quickly...with water wetter it takes more time now.

Thanks for the answer, lol, I thought everyone knew what it was.

Wetter water is a product that helps keep your engine running cooler it also helps stop corrosion. For example, some of the E55 owners here, who track their car and also live in warm climates run 1) Wetter water and distilled water 2) 20% coolent/Wetter water and distilled water.

It's not snake oil and has been proven to work. Almost everyone I've talked to that races their cars uses it. I want more cooling, I'm going 60/40 water/coolent w/Wetter water, and my car runs cool as it is. I think anyone with a Kompressor motor should be using this stuff.

They have a cool demo:
