How Often Should You Change Engine Coolant?
There is no single answer to how often you should change engine coolant. Older green IAT coolants often need replacement every 2–3 years or 30,000–50,000 miles, while modern long-life OAT and HOAT products can last around 5 years or 100,000–150,000 miles under normal conditions. Extreme heat, towing, or stop-and-go traffic shortens these intervals. Always check the owner’s manual and coolant condition—proper maintenance prevents overheating and expensive repairs.
