New NAPA anti freeze tester. Hey it was $9 and i wanted to know about my freeze protection situation

Tested from pet**** into small clean container Yelded freeze protection to minus 35-45 F
So i guess i'm good to go , and the dealer may have done it correctly. Corrosion protection and exact pure coolant percentage vs water , i dunno. At least it will not freeze.

I did a small container of 50-50 mix while i had my handy dandy tester out , just for giggles. 50-50 yielded -25F protection But most likly would not have the corrosion protection that seems nessisary in these engines.

thats all i know about that.
