Hi all:
I still have the original OEM radiator hoses on my 1995 Maxima with about 68k miles. So we are talking 22 year hoses at this point but low miles. The car has received regular coolant drain and refills using Nissan coolant and distilled water. Hoses are visually in good shape and don't feel spongy all all, but do have a build-up of white chalk-like color on the which I understand happens routinely with rubber. Time to change them at the next coolant change?
