Coolant Flush Interval Question

Fellas -

What coolant flush intervals are y'all using? I have 105,000 miles and 4.5 years on my last flush, using Zerex G05 Gold.

Thinking about the swap to ELC coolant, but right now, just curious about how much longer I can/should go on the current coolant before I make the swap. Believe the recommended interval was 5 years/100,000 miles.

Thanks

Scott

5 years or 100 K is right as per Ford. As long as you check the coolant it should be good. You know about the SCA check. ELC would be a better route to go. I have the E99 so can't go that route yet.
