Check Coolant Additive Message

[JoeCamper]

I bought the test kits and was going to do some testing today. I had a devil of a time with the petcocks on the radiators. They are plastic and hard to get to. Also, I am either a wuss or them suckers are hard to turn! I used a 3 inch adjustable wrench to turn the one on the drivers side and got about tablespoon full of coolant out of it. I was afraid to turn it anymore. The one on the passenger side was just about impossible to get to, so I said to heck with it and headed to the internet! Anyone have any advise? Thanks

Try Fleetpride they stock the strips and the additive.

I believe I got the strips at Rockauto for $50. It lasts 3+ years, probably longer if you keep it cold. Video on how to use the kit here: http://youtu.be/0zXPON2pk9I

Thanks for your input. I will see if I can locate a supplier here in Canada. Sometimes I envy all of the resources you folks have in the US.

Check with Uni-Select (Canada based company) also known here in the US as Autoplus.

Thank you. I will follow up with that lead.

Is the dash warning light automatically triggered off the odometer or is there a sensor that detects the additive level???

i believe its based on time, not on any sensor...how many miles do you have on it now?
