Or conversely, is it possible that the deterioration of the properties will occur at significantly different rates?...

The FSM tells how to check for corrosion protection of your coolant.

You use a VOM to check the corrosion protection ( as per the FSM )...

That's interesting.

I wonder with the difference in AF composition today versus when the FSM was written if that is still valid.

Could you briefly describe the FSM procedure and values? Thanks.
