Good advice. My DMM read 0.07V on my F31 at about 32k of factory coolant. Ordered some PH test strips too.

EDIT: I dont think the DMM is quite accurate, as it says there is enough voltage for corrosion to occur. But I just used the test strip and it says I'm ok on PH and glycol content. Ran the same test on a pH meter and it read out to 8.14.
