3. Now you should observe how many of the balls float. Generally, the number and location of the balls as they float will correspond with the quality of your antifreeze and how well your car is protected against freezing. The antifreeze tester will tell you how to read the results. As a note, if your coolant is more than a few years old, change it anyway. Antifreeze becomes acidic over time and can damage your vehicle. Click here for instructions of how to check your antifreeze (coolant). [links]

4. If your coolant is low the first time you check it, you need to add more coolant. Wait to 2-4 days and then check the coolant again. You are going to be looking for two things: the anti-freeze to water mix ratio that you will check with your antifreeze tester and the fluid level to make sure it is not low again. If your fluid is low after 2-4 days, you probably have a leak and should see a mechanic right away. Make sure that your antifreeze to water ratio is correct when you test your fluid again. It is especially important in winter climates where temperatures are near or below 32 degrees fahrenheit. If there is too much water in your cooling system the fluid will freeze. Too much antifreeze can damage your engine. [links]
