    If you just want to be "preventative" ny all means do all the items
    other posters said. If you actually check your car, then you will know
    when its time. Yea there are rads that can last a LONG time and them
    there are others that get replaced from corrosion, physical damage of
    they just plain fall apart.

    You DO need to think about one other thing not addressed here so far:
    Water wetter is a GREAT product, BUT it doesnt have the corrosion
    inhibitors and seal lubricants that antifreeze has. Keep your trouble
    quotient low and fill with antifreeze after you check your radiator and
    hoses.
