Just a thought while perusing around on a vender site about silicone hoses...
Found this statement
Remark: Silicone hoses water permeation rate is 10 to 15 times greater than standard EPDM rubber hose. Checking water level regularly is highly recommended when silicone coolant hoses are used in a daily driving vehicle.
Since I did a total rebuild with AS3 silicone, now dammit its got me into the overthinking mode..
If I knew this in the first place, possibly I would have skipped it...

Have you contacted AS3 and asked their recommendation?
I may do that, but changing back to OEM is not in the cards...
The remark was from HPS Performance Products
Its very possible that its much todo about nothing.......

I purchased a set of AS3 hoses for my 6th gen and have every intention of installing them. I'm only putting on 3-5k miles per year... I'll just check the levels a little more often.
