    I have sold more antifreeze and antifreeze testers than I've sold in a while. Sold slam out of testers.

    I can't imagine many people test anymore.

    That use to be a mainstay.

    I can't remember the last time I tested any at all.

    The same here. Single digits over the Christmas holidays.

    Stay warm, antifreeze up the cars and pack up the dog houses.

    Having proper coolant will enhance your vehickle Heater and A.C . System. Keep a close check on your coolant reservoir . Of just topping off then go with a trusted 50 /50 pre mix .

    Break out the owners guide and it will tell you what you need to put in the reservoir . It's so many diff colors now for diff colors now and I couldn't tell you it makes any dam diff but it prob does on newer models . Newer model systems is made with more nylon and aluminum. Least some are .it's gotten way to complicated. I simply go with a old school green universal. It mixes with any other antifreeze but it also changes what's ever in there to old school green universal.

    But keep check on your coolant reservoir . It does effect performance.

    As far as a tester goes . In the winter in warmer climates some may take a short cut and top off with water . The tester will tell you the quality of what's been used to top off .

    When you add you have to run that vehickle and let the added circulate real good and then test . If you fill the reservoir and test without circulation it's only going to test the new coolant you added to the tank .

    Coolant tank will be plastic and have a small version of a radiator cap and will have WARNING written on the cap. This is your coolant reservoir.

    Good post Bama. My truck stopped blowing warm air mid trip into town yesterday, it's been so cold I haven't even popped the hood to attempt to add antifreeze lol. I will deal with that tomorrow when it gets above freezing. Y'all stay warm over there, Bam.

    Any time you add water just make sure it's distilled water and not tap. Tap will cause corrosion in your system.
