Here is the 1st few lines of text:

It is very important that antifreeze or engine coolant is changed every two years (four years for vehicles with long life coolant) to replenish the additives that protect the cooling system from rust, corrosion, pitting, electrolysis, gelling and foaming. Your automobile cooling system should have a concentration of 50% to 70% antifreeze to water at all times.

Vehicles using Extended Life antifreezes should be changed in about 50,000 miles or 4 years to prevent system damage and radiators and heater cores from plugging up.


Hope this helps, makes sense to me.

It is from a repair garage website.

Fluids & filters are the most important things to keep clean
