How can I tell if the recycled antifreeze I purchase is equivalent to (as good as) antifreeze made from virgin materials?
Make sure that the recycler uses OEM approved technologies and has a fully equipped on-site laboratory to monitor the process and provide a certificate of analysis for each batch like EET. Also, it is prudent to request documented performance results. Verify the quality by occasionally sending a sample of the recycled product to a recognized third party analytical laboratory with experience testing antifreeze products.
