Check Coolant Additive Message
As the title states, this message came up on my display the other day. I've read a ton of stuff regarding how to test it (the test strips, the additive etc)...
What have you guys done?

Mine hasn't come up yet, but I will probably be buying the test strips and follow the proper procedure. Coolant quality is critical. Other option of course would be to have the dealer handle it. Just make sure they know what they are doing.

Roy, I'd be willing to go in with you on a kit and split up the cost to make it more economical for us...unless someone has a better idea. I called the dealer, and he said out of all the ones they've tested at approx 15k...not a one has had a problem. So they reset it and they go on... Thoughts?
