Coolant Addative

I replaced my coolant a while back and I just read something about coolant addative.

I used the Orielly brand coolant (Green)... I can't remember if it had the SCA in it... I asked the guys at orielly's about the addative and they didn't know anything about it.

Where can I get the addative, Stealership?

How long does it take for cavitation to occur?

well I went to the stealership and bought some addative. They didn't have any test strips though... How much cooling capacity is in the trucks? 4 gallons?

It calls for 4oz per gallon and it's a 16oz bottle so I would assume I have about 4 gallons of capacity in the truck... Does this sound about right?
