I recently picked up a DIY coolant test kit at Canadian Tire. Nothing major, just a test strip for pH and freeze pt./boiling pt. Dip it in the coolant, wait and then compare results with a given chart. My question is: if eveything checks out OK and the vehicle has no history of coolant problem, is it beneficial to drain the Rad and refill with new coolant once in a while to keep it fresh? The vehicles are a 1997 Lumina(3.1) with 58000 km and a 1999 Silverado(4.8) with 176000 km. Both have Dexcool which is still nice & pink, both vehicles run great. No flushes have been done on either vehicle. Is a simple rad drain and refill once in a while enough? If it is, is it simple as it sounds, just opening the valve on the rads, drain and refill?
