I picked up some water wetter yesterday.

Has anyone tried Royal Purple's version? Just curious.

As for Brad Penn and/or JG's - any recommended sources?

So if you have a LSD can I use just Mobil 1 gear oil or not? Will I need a friction modifier.

Can Swepco be picked up anywhere? Also what are you looking for on the trans oil to know its compatible with our trans? Just the GL4 or what?

you guys realize that using water +water wetter (or anything in the cooling system that contains mostly water) accelerates electrolysis (ie: rust) on your interior engine parts, right?

tracks require water (and some allow water wetter) simply because coolant is a road hazard when it overflows/spills, not because it's beneficial for the motor.

use coolant if you don't want your motor to rust.
