This is an often debated topic. All I can offer are my own observations and experiences. Been farming full or part time since 1982, may dad from 1945 to today. Like a lot of people, I do what he did. Never, ever, in any vehicle we have ever owned, period, without exception, has the antifreeze been changed for the sake of changing it. When we open a cooling system, out it goes and in goes new but other than that never changed anything. Right now, on the two hills, there are 11 tractors, a skidloader, a dozer, 2 pickups, 2 bigger trucks, and 6 cars with antifreeze in them. Never had a failure of anything that could be contributed to antifreeze except one wet sleeved diesel which had a pin hole in a sleeve when I got it from the previous owner not using cooling conditioner. Only ever lost 1 freeze plug and that was on my pickup, 2 years old, 42,000 miles (and the sorry so and so's would cover the plug under warranty but not pulling the head to get to it.) As far as antifreeze, I never use anything special, whatever the flavor of the month is at Auto Value or Sams house of horrors.
