PRODUCT MAINTENANCE Regularly check the pH of the product and ensure that the pH is maintained between 8.7 - 9.5 with Castrol's Aquasafe pH Adjuster. Concentration of Castrol Aquasafe 30 is determined by the non-volatile residues (total solids) method. *________________________________________________________________________________* *________________________________________________________________________________* *________________________________________________________________________________* *Health, Safety and Environment; Health, Safety and Environment* Health, safety and environmental information is provided for this product in the Materials Safety Data Sheet.
