Yow, you sure can think, my man!
As I mentioned, you need to just watch the Ph. You can do that with some test strips from an auto parts supplier or maybe Edmund Scientific. They used to be into selling chemicals and all kinds of neat things used through school education programs.
There is one thing to watch out for, the test strips do not last for ever. They have a shelf-life as well!
Instead of trying to become a chemist of sorts, you could draw off and replace with fresh what ever is necessary to maintain the Ph.
In my estimation since the chemical are not being heated or agitated there will be less a chance for aggressive interactions or chemical breakdowns that have not already been neutralized.
The cars system is not sealed like it was canned as there is no vacuum so, it's not perfectly sealed up.
Those Plastic containers have only a tamper proof seal to prevent leakage. What about Brake fluids shelf-life? It is handle the same and it loves moisture? Any best used by date on those? No!
In other words, it should last a long time.
A wild guess would be half as much again if you can figure out who's or what lifetime "IS" really the question. Some true sense of the word would be nice but don't hold your breath?
It's like what is a promise and what happens if it not honored... It's not a guarantee or contract?
Promises are among only nice people who play by the rules.
How often to fog... Now thats truly a foggy question! What ever makes you feel good I guess?
Did you say something about inside the valve cover too? Never heard that one before.
A polished surface or ground and harden metal takes quite awhile to rust once oil is on it. But then, you are thinking way ahead of me, again!
17 years for a thermostat to be shelved is a slow mover....or that parts house must be next door to a Mausoleum.
I did not and would not think that a 87C is that unpopular a degree range either!
I believe I mention to you that a 92C degree one was specified more in manuals. Now I shall say, especially for stringent emission states like California or USA marketed cars.
The Wahler is made of brass so as long as you keep it boxed away from dirt I am not aware that a wax pellet can decompose sitting for years?
You might want to boil it in vegetable oil to check it for accuracy because it is old and still under a warranty.
Ok, I tried guys to stick my neck out there, come get me. πΆπ¬π― play time!
It's raining a lot in the Northwest, can you tell?
