About 7 or 8 years ago I was having a heating problem. Someone suggested an additive available on Amazon that would lower the temp about 10-12 degrees . It could be added to antifreeze and was a non automotive product. It was a clear liquid in a pint bottle .I had a new radiator in the box but decided to try this first and it has worked great for the past 6 or 7 years. The new radiator is still in the box. what is this stuff? The bottle it came in says "lamp oil"
anybody know?

Are you sure that you are looking at the right bottle?
Maybe "water wetter"?

Lots of "help it cool" additives on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=coolant+...,aps,3071&ref=nb_sb_noss&tag=atomicindus08-20

I'm having no cooling problem now. Was just cleaning the garage and ran across this stuff where I put it years ago. Like I said I remember it definitely wasn't an automotive product. Maybe it is lamp oil, whatever it worked. Too involved to search my history as I can't put a time frame on it and I purchase way too many products
If you log into your account, click on the "Returns and Orders" tab, you will find a search box that you could enter the name of the stuff if you still have a label. FWIW, "lamp oil" is generally kerosene or "white gas". I can't see how adding that to your radiator would have any effect.
