Question coolant change interval?

I can't seem to find or get a staight answer on when to change the coolant in '00 PSD. the book says " add FW-15 8-10 oz. then it says to change the Green coolant @75k mi.? The Owners manual says change at 48 mon. or 50k mi.? Also the PSD supplemental books says to add 1.89l of FW-15 when doing a Coolant change. I called the dealer and the nut said change once a year! What the heck is it?
Thanks

freefam , I would add a bottle of fw-16 every 25k and change your antifreeze every 50k.....I have a 99psd and the dealer had to replace water pump at 70 k . He said he had never see anyone with a psd(99 thru 03) that had...had any problems with cavitation. good luck....sk

Annual coolant changes are a good rule of thumb. As far as SCA's go, the test strips are cheap, and you'll know exactly how much FW-16 to add.
