Coolant Mixture with Water Wetter
Can one of you great balls of CL-S knowledge 
inform an ignorant soul like myself 
as to the best implementation of Water Wetter? After some minor searching, I read that someone mentioned adding some distilled water to the coolant mixture. Anyone care to add / elaborate on this? I currently have what Acura put in after my coolant flush -- which I assume is 50/50. 
Thanks,
Nutz

I saw that WW recommended *at least* 15% coolant on the bottle -- and I'd think that living in Texas would allow me to do close to the same.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info.

Those living in colder climates will need to make sure they are fully protected . . and will need to adjust the ratio accordingly.

You are suppose to use the Honda Premix.... no need to dilute with water.
What you were reading was adding distilled water to the INTERCOOLER system...the intercooler system is seperate.. and unless you have a supercharger/turbo you prolly will not have an intercooler installed.

Thanks for clearing that up, Smitty.
