My car is MY2004, 95, Arc 117K miles Has the original coolant, which I believe to be Dexcool.
Having said that, it seems to be good maint practice to flush & refill.
I have a hard time going by the mfg recommended intervals...for example, I personnaly belive that the 7500 mile interval for oil change is bad advice. Look at the problems pre 2004's had...yea, part of the problem was a bad design of the PCV system, however, if one changed the oil at 3000 or 5000 miles, there would be fewer damaged engines.
All the nasty things I've heard about dexcool, I don't want to take the chance if something happening to ruine the engine.
