I've been using it for years - no brown slime.
Its amazing how many and how fast internet paranoia spreads... Google AK corrosive ammo and read another all the bogus hypersensitivity... interestingly I've shot Yugo surplus known to be corrosive and haven't had any problems.
I have found it to better to get first hand recommendations or personal experience rather than the "if its on the internet it must be true" rule... its also amazing how many people recite issues yet they have nothing by way of having the problem itself.

Can anyone who knows our cooling systems well give me some insight? I noticed a leak in my radiator near the top, still a slow drip, but its at the seal where the plastic meets the aluminum...so i'm installing a new one on thursday... but something else i think might be going on..... 1.) I can't get coolant to come out of the bleeder valve, 2.) even right after i fill the radiator, heater blows cold at stop, hot while moving, and a can hear liquid moving through the core when i accelerate
do i have a blockage in the line preventing the coolant to get to the bleeder valve?
is the blockage in the heater core line or earlier, preventing the heater from working at stop?

The problem you're having where the car gets hot when stopped happened to me in my old Honda. I too saw coolant leaking on top of the radiator and replaced it. Turned out there was a second leak in a pipe under the engine bay and my fans had stopped turning.
Goodluck. I hope this helps

You can stop internet myths now.

Track your G stock and see how many things you do "need".
But that's all moot... I responded to the "it's for race cars" post.... and the interesting thing about "plenty of people have brown slime" is that many more do not. Now - if everyone that used water wetter had brown slime, there might be something to the myth... the fact that everyone does not, indicates there are other variables.
It's similar to the myth "dont touch your throttle body butterfly plate, you'll ruin it" - couldnt be farther from the truth - have "some" people ruined their TB? Yes. Has everyone? No (I've don it boatloads of times)... so there is clearly something beside just moving the plate that's causing problems (90% of the time its that they didnt unplug battery and actuator). This is the case with water wetter too.
Use it or not, no one cares but the owner of the car... but to make statements as absolute is irresponsible.

No one bothers to mention all those threads "on Google search" regardng a problem have a bunch of people saying they dont have problems (just like this thread).
all it takes is a few mentions and people start repeating as if they've experienced it... that's one bad thing about internet forums - way too many people repeat stuff they've read (and have no first hand).

yep. We're part of the many, many, many that have not had problems. It's amazing when the minority of users have a problem how broad the internet myths spread about not using something or doing something...
