How often should Coolant be changed?
I have an 01 Explorer sport, 130,000. How often should I change the coolant in my car, and how do I know if its starting to go bad? Gauge says its running at operating temperature(not sure how accurate Ford gauges are though).
You're overdue. Ford recommends it at 100K. The coolant itself doesn't wear out. But the additives do. Once those are gone the entire system starts to corrode. Read these two articles on coolant and testing

It can get old and the most important thing is that it stops corroding the aluminium parts etc, as this coat money eating away the heads and water pump etc. So it you do it you could leave it into say 5 years, as I do that.
I never change that. I just can't see any good reason to do it.
Look in the manual it should tell you the scheduled time frame or mileage to change it. Another good way to determine if it needs to be changed out is, to wait until engine cool, then open the radiator cap and see if the fluid is clear, if it is cloudy or dirty looking then change it. The temp gauge is only going to tell you the current temp range of the engine not when the coolant needs to be flush or changed.
- 2002 ford taurus coolant bubbling out of coolant tank cap? Coolant is bubbling out of the tank cap on my taurus. The coolant is a bit over the fill to line. The coolant is the normal green color. I don't think it having a bit of extra coolant in the tank is doing this. The cap itself maybe? I just bought this car and it didn't do this until today.

Standing tall and testifying, refuses to be investigated, deleted her social media account history and emails and has all the earmarks of a Leftist that Hates Trump enough to distort the facts or lie. The FBI has investigated Kavanaugh 6 times, why not Dr. Ford?
