If you keep getting redirected to Motorhaven, just open a new window to the internet and cut and paste it.

Hope that helps.

so if i am reading this right, then i intersect row 0 with the nitrite reading, and that tells me the amount of sca in the coolant now. i add additive to bring it up to between 2 and 3, correct?

You got it. Just don't add too much because if you do , you'll need to flush the system and start over. That can be a costly mistake.
Also, I've been using the Dana/Wix strips from Napa (part # 4107) lately. They are more "user friendly" with the Nitrate readings.

Hope that helps,
