SCA levels

Can anybody help with what does SCA stands for and the proper levels for collant? Also how does this cavitate the motor if off the proper level? Thanks

I dont know the acronym but the additive is an anticavitation. Old style "green" coolant allows oxygen bubbles to form that stick to various metal parts and will, over time, create pits in the metal leading to various bigger issues. You need to buy some test strips and take a sample from somewhere other than the degasse bottle, then dip the strip in (following the instructions on the package). The color the strip turns will indicate the amount needed.

I got my strips from the local international dealer in single packages. Other local stores tried to sell me packs of 50 for over $200. Obviously, you dont need that many. I used two to get mine correct. If I remember correctly, I used 4 pints of SCA for a full flush (8 gallons).
