I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with 26,300 miles. The quick lube guy says I don`t need my radiator fluid changed yet, even though I`ve had the car over 5 years. Is he right? It looks fine and theres no leaks.

One way to find out if it's time to change the antifreeze is to test it. Several suppliers make special antifreeze test strips that react to the pH (alkalinity) of the coolant and change color. If the test strip indicates a marginal or bad condition, the coolant should be changed.
