most people don't know that water does the primary physical work of absorbing and carrying heat away from the engine, while the antifreeze chemicals control the liquid's temperature range, lubricates your water pump, prevents corrosion, etc. How do you know if your coolant is mixed properly?? Well, for less than 15 bucks this little tool can let you know! This lets you know the dilution, it does NOT tell you the *condition* of the coolant, so be sure to follow your manufacturer's flush schedule, or use the coolant test strips to verify your pH! #cartok #mechanictips #tooltips #toolsofthetrade #carmaintenance
