Coolant pH Test Results - Post them here

[Mark]

I guess Great Britain didnt want to keep paying Italy and Greece's bills, and why should they considering Germany is so good at it already lol aaaaaaaand I love my Mirage! yea!

*this post technically mentioned the Mirage and should not deserve a reprimand as per Mirage Forum article 4-A 65421 of causality aforementioned per diem in conjucture with forum

You do realize the person who started this sidetracked discussion left the forum in a huff, & I believe he took his posts with him?

You obviously know the state of the European Union, but do you know the pH level of your Mirage's coolant?

I checked my PH today it was 7.5 so time to finally change the coolant. Mine is a 2015 still with the factory coolant inside it. All i have added is a little water over the years. But the experiment seems to indicate the factory coolant will last 5 years as the bottom of the range. My car is a Garage Queen with only 21,300 miles on it.

Even though my car is a 2015 it was actually purchased in March of 2016 (brand new from Dealer). It also means my bumper-to-bumper warranty is about to expire in March and i will have less than 25k miles by then.

UPDATE:
Factory fill was drained five years ago and refilled with Glysantin G30.
Reason was chemical reactions with coolant silicate. (Note: The manual mandates silicate-free coolant!)

Today, five years later, PH has remained unchanged at 8.5

As coolant ages, PH would eventually become lower and more acidic meaning it needs replacement.

Maaan. I really need to test/check mine. I have 164k on the original juice!

When you replace it, please let us know how long it was in there and what PH it had before draining. Thanks.

I got some PH Strips on eBay sent from China it was less than $2 but also you can just buy them at Whole Foods Market for around $5. They are quite handy for many jobs and you can even test your own urine PH heh-heh

Also remember guys to let the engine cool down before you open the radiator cap or else you will end up like these guys:

I tell you, I never seen so much respect as the respect people give that radiator cap after it blows up in a geyser of steam. They jump back like a bomb just detonated! He Ha
