I don't know if LR specifies the ph for coolant, but other mfg's do, Saab,
MB and others. MB recommends only use of MB Anti-Freeze because when mixed
according to directions, it has the proper ph (acidity-alkalinity range for
you chemistry-challenged LROs)to preserve the engine block, radiator and
other metal parts that contact the coolant.
Any of you have a pool or hot tub? If so, then you know the reasons why ph
is checked regularly...to preserve and protect the metal parts in the
system. Try using your pool test kit or hot tub test strips to test the ph
of your coolant, it might surprise you. Generally speaking, you can use the
pool/hot tub ph recommendations on your test kit to approximate what your
coolant should measure.
Anybody know if LR specifies ph for the alum. V8, or other engines?
