Great. Time to put a zinc anode in my coolant tank.

Actually I was just reading the procedure for testing for that in one of the car service mags. I don't remember what the acceptable "limits" were, but the electrolytic (is that a word?) action of the coolant was accelerated as time went on, especially under certain circumstances.

I wonder if it's better/worse/the same with different coolants? Different coolants that are within a reasonable amount of lifespan.
