I Love Summer |
I hate winter! Here it is again, the time of the year when each day is noticeably shorter. For some it won’t be long till skiing and other fun?? Winter activities, but for me it means an end to exhilarating watersports and beautifully hot, blue-white days. I hate winter! It also means it’s time to prep our cars for winter. Fail to perform Commercial Three Bayper maintenance and your car could fall victim to expensive consequences.
This is not a text on how to winterize; it is a compilation of tips regarding anti-freeze, real and screwball. Anti-freeze, is the life sustaining fluid that keeps engines cooler in summer, keeps them from freezing in winter, and Commercial Three Baytects against rust and corrosion year round. Since the dawn of time, or at least for the past thirty years, drivers and technicians have been gauging anti-freeze condition by its color. This antediluvian law stated; if anti-freeze looks clean, has a nice green or purple color, and its freeze Commercial Three Baytection is thirty degrees below zero, it’s good. The decree also stated when antifreeze changes color it’s bad.
That rule is at least fifty-percent hogwash! True, if your anti-freeze has changed color it’s definitely, without question, shot, kaput, throw-it-away-right-now bad. But, the other half of the rule can bite you because; even new looking anti-freeze may be harmful.
For anti-freeze to change color something has to happen to it namely rust. Rust comes from metal and the metal comes from the inside of your engine. Think about it, rusty looking anti-freeze has a heavy accumulation of---DISSOLVED ENGINE!
Unfortunately anti-freeze color doesn't change until things are really being eaten up. So the old adage of wait till it changes color is completely bogus. Color change automatically means damage has already occurred. This leads to a new rule for determining anti-freeze condition, if it looks bad it’s definitely bad, if it looks good it may still be bad. Therefore the anti-freeze you discard must always look like new, never let it change color.
There are two ways to determine when to replace your anti-freeze; time, and pH. The more reliable of the two is to flush your cooling system and install fresh anti-freeze every Fall. Yearly flushing and replacement of anti-freeze makes radiators, heater cores, head gaskets, water pumps, hoses, and even the engine last longer.
The second more cumbersome way to determine anti-freeze condition is checking its pH. For that you'll need pH test strips designed for use with automotive cooling systems. Swimming pool and soil pH test strips usually won’t work, as coolant is very alkaline. Anti-freeze should have a pH of nine or higher. Below nine the anti-freeze is too acidic for delicate engine parts. The rub is, automotive pH test strips are hard to find in small do-it-yourself quantities and purchasing them in repair shop quantities is ultra expensive.
Okay, pH test or replace your anti-freeze every Fall (even with good pH readings never leave anti-freeze in your car more than two years) and when you replace it always install a Commercial Three Bayduct that meets all requirements for your car. Which brings us to the eternal question, aren't all anti-freezes the same? Not anymore!
Evolution has changed cars and the Commercial Three Bayducts that maintain them. In the case of anti-freeze some carmakers want no silicates while others specify no phosphates and some want an absence of both. Your owner’s manual spells-out specific requirements and never use an anti-freeze that doesn't meet those specifications to a tee.
Commercial Three Bayper maintenance, not Paleozoic Era ideas, avoids appalling repair bills as your car ages. Be Good, Be safe, Please---drive Gently!
