that test will just show how good it is as an antifreeze, not as a coolant. You might get away with it over winter, just keep an eye on the header tank for any gloopy sh!t. Be sure to drain some off and top up with water before the weather warms up or you risk overheating issues.

The smaller bottles are 1.5l but i get mine in a huge drum because there seems to be an awful lot of people having their thermostats changed now that they really want their heaters working properly :grin:

Also undiluted antifreeze when its heated becomes a bit of a corrosive, i saw a freshly rebuilt engine in a dennis dart sieze after less than 1000 mile cos the antifreeze was so concentrated, ate away the gaskets and got into the bores, busted for good
