I have tried the water wetter a few years back but having had so many issues with this jeep never had time to fully test it out. What I came to realize is things that really work are over size fan making sure the fuse is correct for amperage draw and a more efficient radiator . The stock parts are always the bare minimum for the engine size.
Love ur videos dude ur so informative and in depth with everything and a great personality keep going dude ur gonna be one of the biggest car mechanic RUclipsrs soon
Royal Purple makes good stuff. Their API certified oil is overpriced, but it's still pretty good. Their MAX Clean fixed my wonky fuel trims in about 50 miles :-)
Whichever additive decrease surface tension the most will be the best. I have a perfect candidate to try. I bought a 2000 Hyundai accent 5 speed last year. Recently I had the cv axle, transmission, water pump, and timing belt changed. The temperature has always been steady and cool until this recent heatwave. At idle it goes up quite a bit. I can still hear the fans. Everything is all original so I imagine the radiator does not dissipate heat like it once did. I like what I saw with your test this should hopefully help my idle temperature. Either way I'll check back and let you guys know
Every few weeks i hose off my radiator fins in my cars to keep them clean of bugs and built up dirt and debris. That can help. What did you end up doing?
I want to know how this will modify the thermostat opening and closing temperature. The temperature in the engine is regulated by the thermostat. Seeking answers?
These coolant additives increase the way heat transfers between the molecules to increase efficiency. No build-up over time, does not bond to the coolant surfaces in the cooling system.
I can say the royal purple ice really works I was having overheating problems with my 2004 nissan murano cvt going up hill at 80 mph at 4k rpm when I used the royal purple ice I never had an overheating problem while going up hill after that I really recommend this product I can notice now 8 months after that the purple ice is starting to wear off due to heat and time I'm starting to get the overheating again for the 8 months I used it I was very satisfied
i wonder if lowering the temperature is even good thing in a stock properly working car. the manufacture designed the system to run at a specific temperature . Furthermore how can this make the engine run cooler if the thermostat is opening and closing at specific temperatures? Also if this stuff works so well why wouldnt manufactures add it to their coolant?
The only real difference it would make is once the engine gets heat soaked. At that point the thermostat will be pretty much constantly open. If you live somewhere whether fairly mild temperatures it’s probably not necessary, but if you are somewhere that the temperatures are in excess of 100°F an additional boost for coolant is probably beneficial. Or if you are running your vehicle to extremes (racing, endurance, off-road, etc)
I just bought a bottle of the r.p. max clean fuel system cleaner, the one with the attached yellow pour neck, haven't used it yet but have you reviewed this yet? I've heard good results.... I'm just waiting to use it just before my next oil change. I heard it can Clean more than just the fuel system....
We'll their 5w30 sucks. After using their oil in my 370z. It ran really ruff. So after 1,000 miles I switched to AmsOil and it's really smooth now. I think this whole royal purple is just more marketing then anything else
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO oil should not be purple . They put coloring in it. Also I dipped 5 peices of metal in five different oils. One of them being royal purple and then let them sit out over night and the next day the royal purple didn't have any film/oil on the metal. And it didn't feel as slick in your hand compared to the other oils.
@@AQCE245 yeah me to with royal purple. Amsoil it has like no ticking. Amsoil seems to be the best so far iv tried. About to change my oil again just about at 3000 miles. It sees you can wait up to 25000 but fuck that lol
In a typical vehicle with standard coolant, you have hot spots as the water kind of flows and bounces off of surfaces. These "water wetters" make the fluid more clingy so instead of that bounce it kind of skirts along the surface more thus allowing it to cool those hot spots that otherwise aren't touched as much. The water then heats up quicker as a result and would cause the thermo to indeed open sooner. The engine however is not running hotter as some seem to think it's just able to pull more heat out of the block more efficiently and the same thing happens in the radiator, this helps it to dissipate said heat. So it will hit operating temp sooner and cool more efficiently overall.
Anyone tried it on a 2000 Honda Civic? Mine has 173K miles and recently these Boise summers of 100F+ sunrise to sundown have made my engine run hot. I worry it may get too hot. Anyone tried it? If so, did you flush the whole thing? Did you just add it to the exiting? Did you take off the amount you added? Thanks.
You don't NEED this stuff per se but it will help reduce hot spots and in theory help keep things running longer. That said these products are mostly meant for vehicles that tend to be pushed harder than your usual casual drive to the store. The efficiency increase in cooling will help protect your average vehicle for instance if you tend to red line it more often than not.
You're putting soap in your cooling system, it foams up and shows inaccurate temps at coolant system because ita not meant to read temp of air bubbles. It's a gim
@@cat5tracker581 The theory is, the water kind of sticks to the surfaces internally as it flows instead of running off or around. This should help prevent hot spots and help shed heat through the radiator. The flip side would be as the water is more efficient at contacting those harder to reach / hot spots you could reach operating temp faster but it's not "running hotter" as you said, simply able to dump the heat into the water more readily as the engine itself is still producing the heat regardless. So in reality it's able to cool more efficiently by helping cool hot spots which will heat the water faster but also since it's clinging to the surfaces more as it flows, this allows the radiator to dissipate that heat quicker too.
How about use the OBD2 port to read temperature?

Thanks Nate I learn so much from you. My Viper runs quite hot. I'm getting some of this product tomorrow and I'll let you know!!!!
How the result?

you should try better quality coolant like toyota long life or hoat coolant

My Jeep ,for instance, commonly runs at 220°F+ when off-roading in 4low even at outdoor temperatures of 60°F.
@@nathanmccrary87 thank you so much for your reply and insight
@@nathanmccrary87 agreed, the temp where I live consistently gets to 115-120 in the summer
@@nathanmccrary87 How about if a person is using their vehicle 8 hours day in a hot climate state like Florida?
I put this stuff in my new car it lasted 190,000 miles no issues
Would it be safe to add ice with peaks 50/50 coolant
Thanks, had a good laugh

I have used this in a video, add the name along with Nates interactive auto in the search.
Should I add In radiator or coolant
It's hard to imagine the temp could be improved much below the thermostat temp. Would it be better to try without a thermostat?
It would still have the fan to impact the temperature, so I based it off of the time.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO Yeah Nathan.. I guess you did your job now the user has to take it from here. Cheers 🥂
lMFAO
I bet Amsoil Coolant Boost would work even better! Best products of all time.
That's what I use for my Bmw, shits awesome.
Meh
Royal purples definitely better than amsoil
When it’s the best time to use purple ice ? I have a 2017 Honda Accord touring v6 3.5 L
Is this safe to use with HOAT coolant. Like Mopar or zerex g-05

Must somehow affect what the thermostat is sensing causing it to open sooner ???????

Thanks for the hard work you but in your videos.
I gotta use this stuff in my 350 buick. It runs healthy but lord it gives off alot of heat.
Why do you need all these? Can’t wait to run my engine at operating to normal warm temp, as car manufacturers engineered it to be.
You don't NEED this stuff per se but it will help reduce hot spots and in theory help keep things running longer. That said these products are mostly meant for vehicles that tend to be pushed harder than your usual casual drive to the store.

It would be a stretch if they said at least 25° instead of up to up to saves their ass in case it doesn’t
Make a video of what you’d cost die electric grease on if you had hood vents.
Are you saying it's on your hood vents?
Wow
Hey sponge bob
Dude getting lubed up
Did it make it slower to reach operating temp?
How does it make it operate faster (run hotter) yet lower it at the same time. Seems odd.
