Please correct me if I'm wrong. But from my very limited understanding of this complex subject, it seems that as long as antifreeze is alkaline and not acidic that corrosion of the internal engine parts will not take place. Testing the pH helps determine that and can help avoid unnecessary changing of antifreeze.
I know that one can buy pH test strips, although they are hard to get around here. From what I've heard, they also make digital antifreeze pH meters that take an instant reading of the condition of the antifreeze. It seems to me that a reusable meter may be a better way to go than buying test strips.
Does anyone reading this thread have experience with pH meters that work with antifreeze? Cheap pH meters are available for testing aquarium and pool water, but they might not work well with antifreeze. Any suggestions for brand names of meters that are designed to work with antifreeze?
