I have been using coolant test strips for years but recently called to get a new package and the ones I have been using from Penray have been discontinued. I have been satisfied with them because they are simple and give me pH and freeze point. Anyone else use test strips and what do you use?
Thanks

I use the Fleetguard strips for my green coolant and a refractometer for ELC.

Must have been the type I was using. I like the freeze point and PH and I didn't see that in that link, did you? I'm going to try some from Napa. Suppose to come in today.

With the purchase of quite a few Cummins powered buses, we moved away from the Nalcool/Penray test strips and over to the Cummins product. They have quite an array of coolant products and information. Their CC2718 "Quik-Chek" test strips can test PH level.
