Yeah, yeah, yeah. It tests freeze protection and acid level. Oh, wait--it DOESN'T test acid level of "orange" (extended-life) coolant. Gee, it'd be nice if a person knew about that BEFORE purchse, since this product isn't going to be fully compatible with newer vehicles; or older vehicles that have been converted to extended-life coolant.

They put that disclaimer on the bottle, but not in the online descriptions.

Works fine when used with the common, ordinary green Ethylene Glycol coolant. There's NO mention of it's suitability when used with Propylene Glycol.

I change my coolant religiously at the 30k mile or the 2-year mark (whichever comes first as recommended) for my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. It had been 2 years and I took my truck in for my mechanic's inspection for the coolant change. He told me the coolant was in real good shape and no need to flush it just yet.
Me being me, I was just curious and wanted to test it a bit more for my own eyes. These strips told me exactly what my mechanic did. And, as advertised by the product, in only 30 seconds. Extremely easy to do, 'even a cave man can do it.' I'll be using them again and again and with a set count of 50 it should hold me for a while. Seems to be an accurate and very fair priced product.

Hi, you do not need to be a mechanic to use these test strips. Just make sure the car is cold when you check your anti-freeze/coolant. I test my coolant 2 times each year (spring/fall) and all my families cars also. This will show the condition of your system also befroe you have trouble on the road. The bottle of 50 will last a few years for my usage so I keep them in dry controlled area in basement.
