Coolant Question

I just replaced my water pump and used Peak Long Life, full strength concenteate Antifreeze & Coolant. I mixed it 50/50 with distalled water. That was about 2 weeks ago. Today I added the NAPAKool for the DCA additaive.

I have been reading sooooo much about all this coolant stuff that I don't have any idea what is right or wrong.

Does anyone know if this mixture is correct or wrong?

I am to the point where this is starting to stress me out and I might just end up taking it to the Ford dealer to get it right.

Any help would be appriecated!!

Thanks

Kevin

After a flush and fill it takes 2 bottles of the SCA additive.
You will be OK for now but, Go back to NAPA and get an SCA test kit to be sure.

Cuda_jim,

Thnaks for the reassurance...I'll get the test kit tomorrow and test.
