Has anyone had any experience using a product "Lucas Oil Super Coolant" in their Ts with aluminum heads to control electrolysis?

Looks to be equivalent to Red Line’s Water Wetter, which I have used for a while and am happy. Note the part where it says “does not protect from freezing”, not a problem for me here in Califunny, but might be in other parts of the world

From DeWitts Radiator Company... So it would follow for heads

Do Aluminum Radiators Need Special Coolant?
The key to maximizing the life of an aluminum radiator is not so much the radiator coolant brand as it is the water type. All coolants sold today will protect aluminum radiators. This wasn’t always the case, however. Traditional copper/brass construction was the primary radiator material for six or seven decades and most coolants sold over the counter at your favorite parts store did not have the proper additive and protection package for aluminum radiators. So, you had to be cognizant of not only your radiator’s build materials, but what radiator coolant you were purchasing. Today, all modern coolant brands are sold with the ability to work in traditional copper/brass construction, aluminum and composite construction, and full aluminum construction with a coolant additive for aluminum radiators.

Kevin, I think lang's sells the "Water Wetter". Can it be used with antifreeze, since it, by itself won't protect from freezing?
