I am at about 80k and have an '05 I bought new. I know that the coolant is supposed to be changed at 100k/5 years, but does this really need to be done with only 80k miles? |

I had mine flushed @ 28k only because I saw crap in the over flow tank and read about casting sand accumulating. I'm at almost 4 years and 50k and it still looks like brand new. |

Make sure you use the correct fluid It can be hard to find but NAPA sells Zerex G5 and that's what you need DO NOT USE DEX-COOL http://www.valvoline.com/products/brand ... ifreeze/42 |
