You DON'T run OEM coolant with the addition of water wetter.
@Flavor 987S is right on!

We have had experience with Redline Water Wetter in Sport Bikes. Yes, this product is used heavily on the track. It DOES WORK at reducing coolant temps (so you can run higher RPMs) and stay cooler. It works VERY WELL. However, you DO have to change it out frequently.

We observed that IF YOU DID NOT change it often enough (like every 3 races) it would develop some rust in the cooling system. So, we would run it at the track. Put good ol' Prestone in there during the week and change it to Water Wetter on racing weekends.

NOT recommended to run BOTH at the same time! The stuff DOES work well! First time I used it I thought the gauge was lying to me. Not recommended for everyday use…unless you like to "burp" a lot! My $.02.
