S·O·S Coolant Analysis (Level 2)

Level 2 coolant analysis is a comprehensive chemical evaluation of the coolant. This analysis is also a check of the overall condition of the inside of the cooling system.

The S·O·S Coolant Analysis has the following five features:

Full analysis of Level 1

Identification of the source of metal corrosion and of contaminants

Identification of buildup of the impurities that cause corrosion

Identification of buildup of the impurities that cause scaling

Determination of possible electrolysis within the engines’ cooling system

The results are reported, and appropriate recommendations are made.
