Antifreeze life? Changed antifreeze on my 92 toyota tercel 6years ago. It is not the long life stuff but still shows good on the test strips. Should I leave it alone as long as the test strips show it is good? I only drive it less than 1500 miles a year, I rebuilt the motor 8 yrs ago it is just under 200,000 miles.

I’d say you are probably OK for another 2 years. Coolant is not really a mileage thing but more of a time thing.
