I've been using green anti-freeze but read in one of the recient Healey mag to use the red??? I also use water-wetterer. What do you all use? and why?
 
Green.
It's what I've always used. My late model Japanese car also uses green. I've tried "Water Wetter" but couldn't tell that it made much noticeable difference.
 
My antifreeze is blue

Put two bottles of water wetter in, I think that it has dropped the temperature down by around 10 degrees or more, but stupidly did not take the reading before I put it in. I thought it was around 190 from the position of the needle on the guage and now it is between 170 and 180. Forgot all about it, must check next time I am out.

I just changed the stuff in my motorcycle to Engine Ice, which is blue. Says it's bio-degradable and won't kill animals. Healey ATM has distilled water and wetter er.
 
I love learning new things...were can I find water wetter?
My 100 runs about 195 and while it has not over heated would love a 10 degree drop!

It's a Redline product that come in a small bottle, reddish liquid. Most autopart chains should carry it.
 
Moss carries it too. Be carefull not to let the rad level get too high so it over flows. It comes out thick and does not evaporate on the garage floor as normal coolant does.
