I was told that this product lowers your coolant temp by 10 degrees. Any info is greatly appreciated. Happy 4th of July!

Confirmation biasI added in the tank reservoir 10 days ago, it started to mix after 2-3 days, now I have the impression that the car goes better with gas as well, still early to say but for sure it will put down the hot spots of the engine even if the temperature of coolant looks the same.
Still early as I said, I will post on the gas consumed.Confirmation bias
Formulated coolants most certainly do have surfactants in them. That makes additives such as this redundant, if not useless.Always wondered if modern OEM coolants have surfactants in them, eliminating the supposed benefit of Water Wetter and the like?
WW is a great product for use with straight water, but I'd be hesitant to use it with modern coolants.
More than modern I would say good quality coolant, I have no idea what brand of coolant I have in my car is green but I do not know the quality so adding a surfactant is a good idea in the worst scenario it does nothing.Always wondered if modern OEM coolants have surfactants in them, eliminating the supposed benefit of Water Wetter and the like?

Exactly. And using a proxy of fuel economy to ascertain if an additive like this is effective is silly since it’s tied directly to temperature, not heat transfer (besides being a second or third-order effect).It's not going to lower the temp any lower than the thermostat temp

I have not confirmed yet that I have better fuel economy looks very strange the correlation, but the last tank went quite better this can depend on other factors for sure.Exactly.

So much imagination on this topic.
No, worse is WW is incompatible with the chemistry of whatever coolant you are using and inhibiting the coolant's effectiveness, gelling, creating sludge or whatever. There are enough reports of gelling/sludging w/ WW and coolants that I would do a lot of research before adding....actually I would never use it with coolant, but if you choose to.More than modern I would say good quality coolant, I have no idea what brand of coolant I have in my car is green but I do not know the quality so adding a surfactant is a good idea in the worst scenario it does nothing.
I did a sample before putting it in, I heard about it, and after 24 hours no problem. If it was a disaster as you say it would have gone out of the market a long time ago. Seems this happened with red antifreeze.No, worse is WW is incompatible with the chemistry of whatever coolant you are using and inhibiting the coolant's effectiveness, gelling, creating sludge or whatever.
