## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this give good protection against electrolysis in the international 6.9 diesel?**
A: First check whether you are experiencing chemical and or stray voltage electrolysis. Get PH test strips to see if your coolant is acidic. Take your volt/ohm meter and test for stray (DC) voltage in your coolant. With the 6.9 international you should be doing more frequent cooling flushes and replacements. The VC-8 is an additive used based upon nitrate test strip results. It replenishes nitrate breakdown in coolant or adds to coolant to achieve a proper nitrate level.  A simple inline coolant filter installed on the heater hose is helpful to trap metal degradation migration.  A multi prong approach is needed to protect your 6.9.

**Q: So is this what I need for my 2015 6.7 powerstroke**
A: I have a 2011 6.7 with the “coolant additive” displayed….used this bottle and nothing changed. I’m going to see if the sensor is dirty next.

**Q: Can this be mixed with VC12?**
A: I use the VC8 with old school green anti freeze. I do know if you can use it with the VC12/ gold? I would check the specs of VC12

**Q: Ford 7.3 L IDI, will be flushing the radiator and changing the coolant. About how many bottles should I buy?**
A: If you are changing the coolant, just purchase coolant with the additive already in it. If you are intent to use standard antifreeze, it will take four bottles of the VC-8 to get you in the protected range according to test strips. Once you have established protection, test your antifreeze yearly with test strips and ad VC-8 if needed.
