    The SUV had the coolant flush around 30,000 miles it now has 55,000 miles.

    Another word, there's no need to buy an expensive antifreeze tester when the cheap ones will work.

    To be honest I don’t know.
    The ones pictured has protection and quality Of antifreeze numbers and colors. I would suggest specific strips for vehicles.

    I seen a video on YouTube shows using water ph testing strips in antifreeze. Didn't know if it works.

    I ask the pro.

    Heh, I just have no life. Cars, mowers, heavy metal, and beer (well I guess conveyor belts since that's my job...).

    Anyways, a little humor for you all this morning. This was order number for my sandwich last night. I yelled out "nice" when they said my number was ready.

    I definitely needed a laugh after this weeks dumpster fire. 9 people in my department are out for Covid and it's the busiest time of the year...

    I work with lazy, certified morons. Just found out 3 of our semitrucks, in the last month, BOOM, blown motors due to idiots not checking oil. Don't know which idiots, a lot of these guys share trucks throughout the week so there's more than just 3 guilty parties. Worst case, completely new engines run 10k each minimum. Haven't heard anything on that front. Management is not much better, it took 3 blow ups before they said anything! You'd think the first one would have been red alert check your oil assholes. Oh, and those drivers still have jobs...

    Here's the thing, they know this, it's in our job/duties description, it's on the drive test for your class A CDL. Oh well, not my company, not my $$...

    I'm impressed they managed to blow three semi engines. We've got a Kawasaki loader here with the 8. Something Cummins. last year before it got a rebuild the compression was so bad, they left it running for 2 1/2 months straight since they wouldn't be able to start it again. Any maintenance it needed in that time was done with the machine running.

    thats where the 'stock' wheel weights had been sitting for nearly 20 years before they had to be moved to balance the new tires
