If you are using ethelyne glycol anti-freeze mixed with distilled water in
a 50/50 mixture in a clean cooling system, and you have changed and
flushed the system in the last 3 years, I personally would not be
concerned about a failed additive package. But, there are test kits to
confirm the potency if you are concerned. If it fails that test, drain,
flush, and renew your system. Go back in the house and worry if your wife
is planning to kill you for your life insurance policy, or some other
unlikely problem.
