Subaru coolant conditioner... yes or no?

Goodness, if you are going to get in on the fun, at least read the whole thread! He said "Oxygen has to be present for corrosion to happen. This is why boats and planes at the bottom of the sea can be preserved for 100's of years. There is very little oxygen at deep depths." - now, maybe I'm over simplifying, but that sure sounds like water is not the problem, dissolved oxygen is, and that he appeared to be aware of the difference...

 

Yes, I saw that, but then you used water and hydronium ions in your redox examples, and he said, "All those examples have oxygen in them." So no, he doesn't seem to be aware of the difference -- hence why I was distinguishing between elemental oxygen and dissolved O2.

Well, to me if you are saying that in water you need to have oxygen for corrosion to go, and use the example that deep in the ocean you don't have oxygen (but obviously have plenty of water...) that sounds to me like he was talking about dissolved oxygen - if not, then what was he talking about?

Sandwiches. He was talking about sandwiches.

I feel like it's been well established that not even he has any idea what he's talking about

Sums up this thread perfectly! No escape. No memory.
