Chris,


Anybody who's ever suffered a good head leak has already been refreshing on 
this basis . . . to the Nth degree.


But it's a good thought.

Idea:
Every month, simply drain out 1/Nth of the coolant from one of the drainable
spots. Replace it with a fresh 1/Nth of proper coolant/water mix.  At any
given time coolant in the vehicle still has an average "life" of N months.
Of course, I'm assuming the coolant of different ages mixes perfectly.  I
have no reason to believe it wouldn't. It is never perfectly new, never
completely spent.  Actually, Nth interval can be multiple months, if so
desired, as long as the "averaging" process is unaffected.


What you think, eh?
