Thanks for the link. Good read. :-)
Makes me feel good about the lab I have been using as they have started performing the PQ index test mentioned in item #2.

Good read - interesting about how shell is concerned about mixing coolants. Wonder if they've seen a trend and are trying to get the word out.

Good read for those that are on-the-fence about doing lab analysis.

Polaris Labs is where I have my coolant testing done. They seem very thorough.

Lube oil and trans fluid still goes out to B-Stone, though.

Very interesting, thanks. I've been running a fair amount of homebrew bio lately and will do an oil analysis soon.
