If anyone is running with Asda's antifreeze get the strengh tested. I mixed some 50/50 and did a protection level test.

VIRTUALLY USLESS.................... Protection to -5 at best.

I will be going into the store tomorrow or should it be Trading standards?

Are you sure it wasn't pre-mixed already? - I've nearly been caught out by that

I tested it neat and only protects to -10. (I diluted it as needs water to give correct reading I belive)
Label just says Asda Antifreeze.

seems a bit like Asda all over from the quality of the grub her indoors brings when she shops there............

Thanks, I'll be sure to avoid that stuff when I change my coolant.

A friend told me Morrisons antifreeze is cheaper than he can buy trade - I now suspect similar results

Nope, Claims it conforms with BS6580 1992. That has a max water content of 5%

I bet they didn't bank on a customer actually testing it for strength!

I shall continue to buy asda's scotch eggs though... They are very nearly average.

I don't really eat Scotch Eggs. Can't justify a tank of diesel or more to go and get me some. Eat Cheshire eggs instead.
