Brad it is a product from Red Line Oil.

WaterWetter®

WaterWetter® is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze systems. Compatible with all antifreezes, including the latest long-life variations.

Water additive that reduces surface tension. Used in computer water cooling a lot as well for lower temps.

I run a mix of water wetter and distilled water in mine, granted I only drive the car in the summer months so I don't have to worry about it freezing. My coolant temp never passes 180 degrees even sitting in rush hour traffic in the middle of the summer.

is it worth a buy? If it keeps the engine a bit cooler, like it sounds, wouldn't it be better for the car in the long run?

Uh, guys... Hate to be the "wet towel in the face" here but true GM Dexcool already has Water Wetter as part of it's makeup. Just something I read about 10 years ago when I had my '85 2.5L S-10 and put it in. Big difference in heat transfer 'cause of it, made the heater work alot better. Just sayin'.

Go beyond the "bolt-on".
