Most of the time, knowing when to change your brake fluid or coolant is a guessing game. With Brake Strip and Coolant Strip, in as little as sixty seconds you have clear, repeatable and reliable proof of the level of corrosion in your vehicles brake fluid and the acid plus freeze/boil point of your coolant. The test starts with removing your brake master cylinder cap and dipping the Brake Strip end of the test strip into the fluid, next you will remove your radiator cap and dip the coolant end of the test strip into the antifreeze. CAUTION: DO NOT remove the radiator cap when HOT! Once dipped in brake fluid, Brake Strip begins the corrosion measurement reaction - changing color from white to purple in direct proportion to the corrosion level. High levels of corrosion indicate brake fluid that has lost its ability to protect your brake system. Corrosive brake fluid should be changed and a dose of Brake Shot should be added to protect against future corrosion Simply search for Brake Shot Once dipped in coolant, Coolant Strip begins the pH and glycol measurement reaction. The glycol pad can range from pink to red/blue depending on your glycol percentage. The pH pad can range from orange to yellow/green depending on the acid or alkaline level. Low levels of glycol can quickly lead to a corroded water pump, heater core and radiator. Low glycol can also cause an engine to freeze in cold weather and create a crack through the engine block. pH levels below 7 indicate acidic coolant. Acidic coolant will also quickly corrode a cooling system and lead to premature breakdowns and an unreliable vehicle. Coolant Brake Test Strips give you confidence to know the right time to change your fluids. Don't let a shop pull the wool over your eyes! Find out for yourself if your fluids needs to be changed or not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I use the Phoenix Systems Brake Fluid and Coolant Test Strips?A: To use the test strips, remove the brake master cylinder cap and dip the Brake Strip end into the brake fluid. Next, remove the radiator cap (ensure the engine is cool) and dip the coolant end into the antifreeze. Wait 60 to 90 seconds to see the results.
Q: How can I tell if my brake fluid is still good?A: The Brake Strip will change color from white to purple based on the level of corrosion in your brake fluid. A high level of corrosion indicates that the brake fluid has lost its protective properties and should be changed.
Q: What do the colors on the Coolant Strip indicate?A: The glycol pad on the Coolant Strip can range from pink to red/blue, indicating glycol percentage, while the pH pad can range from orange to yellow/green, reflecting the acidity or alkalinity of your coolant. pH levels below 7 indicate acidic coolant, which can lead to corrosion.
Q: How often should I test my brake fluid and coolant?A: It is recommended to test your brake fluid every two years, especially if you drive a Tesla, as suggested by Tesla. Regular testing helps identify potential issues before they lead to costly repairs.
Q: Can using these test strips save me money?A: Yes, using the Brake Fluid and Coolant Test Strips can potentially save you from unnecessary brake fluid or coolant changes by providing clear evidence of the condition of your fluids.
