Coolant Change

Its not only mileage but time. Mfrs have moved away from time recommendations with oil, Ford has the IOLM in the Edge that works for 2012+ MYs. But no similar accommodation for other fluids in the vehicle. Yet, all fluids will age just sitting there, yes, they do have a shelf life, even brand new in the bottle. You may have only 38k kms on your vehicle, but the coolant is likely nearly 5 years old!

Using your analogy, I'm nearly 144 years old.
