- What are the paramters to test in ethylene gycol antifreeze? Like Ph what
- should it be? and other chemical balances. I've use the same anti freeze in
- my 88 toyota pu for 130k. I periodically pull the radiator cap off look for
- crud, stick my finger in there and feel for junk. It's clean. I replaced the
- water pump at 95k beacuse of a bearing failure and there was no signs of
- pitting or that white flower stuff. I top off the resevoir with those
- "extend" products about once a year and add a little distilled water. The hoses
- are original too and I saturate them a few times a year with silicone, I use
- up one spray can each time. I know this goes agianst common wisdom, but
- who sets the rules? The chemical companies.
