I did it once before I changed my coolant to Zerex-G05. Mine tested fine, but I didn't want to worry about it in the future. However, after my water pump went out on my I put the cheap stuff back in.
SCA = Supplemental Coolant Additive. It prevents cavitiation.

I have never tested or even thought about it in my truck,I didn,t know anything about it til here,we always used CAT antifreeze which I now know has the additive it was also used in my truck but I am going to start to check for sure now This time around I used John Deer green premix antifreeze with the proper additive
Is this additive like a lubricant?

I test and have the test strips. Refurbished the entire system with all new hoses, coolant and distilled water and installed a coolant filter on October 2007.
