    in my case sir, i prefer to drain all fluids every 40k or four years (which ever comes first). mas ok pa din preventive kesa corrective.

    Answer depends on your coolant and engine manufacturer.

    Green coolant or ethyl glycol 2 years life. Common brands are prestone, total, whiz etc...

    Dexcool or orange coolant is supposed to be 5 years or 100,000 kms. Personally, I'll still change every 2 years. Normally found on GM cars. Caltex is the manufacturer. Ford prohibits the use of this coolant on their engines.

    Toyota uses red coolant. I forgot idf its HOAT or OAT. Also forgot the reccomended change interval. Parang 2 years din but I may be wrong.

    No idea on Honda, Mitsu, German and Korean cars.

    Bottom line check your manual.
