It's just a techie little Hydrometer, like has been used to test anti-freeze for how low it will protect your engine. Instructions with the package will tell you how to use it. It's ridiculously simple. I may buy one myself. I've used much more complicated ones in years past. Mainly, if your...

When you say "Green" coolant, are you talking about "Prestone" anti-freeze? (Etheline Glycol based) Many cars from Japan, come with a BLUE coolant. (Suzuki, for instance) I have NO idea what that is. ??? What about additives to make 'water wetter' and increase heat transfer. ??

I shudder to hear that people are leaving that goo in their engines for such long times. Oil does a lot more than just lubricate. It cools, it takes out the trash, so to speak, the byproducts of combustion and every few minutes it carries its load of trash to the filter. Depending on the...
