curious where you got 3 years from... especially when sitting? is that what some mechanic thats trying to sell you a service/product said? or like the outdated 3000 miles oil change?

way too many variables to claim all coolant needs to be changed at 3 years regardless of miles, certain brands of coolants state 5 year change intervals, some are even as high as 10. most modern vehicles suggest 10 year or 100k miles for a coolant change, in classics 5 years in the norm.
