I looked at a Red Line blurb to see if it had anything additional to say
about how the stuff works. It didn't. The name itself, I suppose,
pretty much says it. It's a wetting agent; kinda like adding a little
soap to water to make it cling to surfaces better. In other words
pretty much what you say above. No, I don't recommend using soap as a
replacement.
The blurb does say that it has additive to inhibit corrosion and, in the
case of the crystals, a lubricant. About all it says about its coolant
properties is that it improves the heat transfer properties of water.
