Coolant change interval

Misplaced my manual...2006 has 88,000km which is just about 50,000 miles and original factory coolant. Is it time for a change yet, am I overdue or will it last another year or two????

Iirc, the manual recommends 100K for changes.
Unless you do an excessive amount of idling (the type of idle times a LEO or FF might do at a call).

I did a coolant flush @ 55K miles b/c of my idling (1-5+hrs).


On a side note:
You can look up your manual at motorcraft.com or the fleet ford website.
