Never used the fuel system cleaner.

Water Wetter is suppose to lower your coolant temps. I've heard that it works.

can you just add water wetter to your car anytime?

I'm pretty sure that you can. I've never used it before though.

Heres some tech info on it:

Go to Toyota and buy Toyota fuel injector cleaner. Good stuff and you know there won't be any additives that could mess up your Oxygen sensor (not that I know of any in the redline product) but I have used the toyota stuff on an old cressida and it worked wonders.

so it actually cleaned up the injectors?

I never took them out to compare a before and after but the car ran a bit rich and had a gurgle at idle and after that tank was empty it ran fine. My guess is there was some kind of deposit keeping the injectors from working properly, and yes they did seem to get cleaned out. I am not saying this is a miracle cure it just worked in this instance. Regular store bought cleaners were tried before but didn't work yet Toyota's did, go figure.

Does it say "Toyota" on the label or is it some stuff sold at Toyota dealerships? I've used Berryman's cleaner and it also seems to work (the engine smoothed-out a bit)...

It was 6 years ago but I recall a white bottle with red/black lettering on it that actually said Toyota. I got it from a dealership.

I've used both the Red Line Water Wetter and also the Red Line Fuel Injector Cleaner.

I first applied the about 1-2oz of Red Line Wetter on my '81 Tercel years ago....after about 5 miles of driving, my temp gauge just DIPPED close to 'C'.....I was like "DAAAAAAAAAMNNNN".

That trip, I was leaving from NY to VA Beach with my girlfriend. Man the temp gauge stayed at 1/3 the gauge level (between 'C' & the halfway point) throughout the whole trip. Mind you, I did just complete a flush of my coolant before applying. The coolant was flushed because it was scheduled as part of my maintenance.

I also use it on both my Gen2 Camrys as well.

The fuel injection cleaner was used on my Camry V6 using Sunoco 94. Worked beautifully. I'm going to do the same on my 88 I4 soon.

The cleaner from Toyota is awesome as well. I've used that in the past too.

Hope this helps.
