i only test antifreeze with some neat test strips that tell you the acidity. you can use conditioner or i change it if it gets too far out of wack otherwise i dont bother changing it if its not acidic. i do change it everytime i have to go into the system ie change radiator etc. the idea of needing to lube a waterpump is horse stuff. the shaft seal on a water pump is a very hard ceramic. (ie if somone pisses you off open the hood take a ball peen hammer and hit the pully of the water pump will break that seal hell drive off w/o coolant the water temp guage wont come up and hell blow it up) no i havent done that. but that seal does not need lubrication nor does antifreeze lubricate. that shaft on the water pump is highly polished ie dont ever touch it ijust like bearings, shafts in injection pump, the acid from your skin will pit it. and the ceramic seal is very hard there is no lubrication present or necessary
