Thank you everyone for your input. I'll wait a few more years and save my money.

Check your owner's manual to be sure, I'm usually a change fluids early and often kind of person, but that's super early for coolant.

Yeah. 10 years or 100k. On a factory fill coolant. Then every 5 years or 50k after that. They probably recommend sooner because of the extra heat with the turbos. If you do a lot of towing. Do the 5 year 50k interval. Do a thermostat at the same time. Cheep money for peace of mind. I do it with all my cars.

There is gold, then orange, starting in 2018 for the Expedition, Yellow. When we took delivery of our 2018 I had them top off the coolant so I was sure to get he right stuff. They added about 12 oz of Gold. WRONG!! Yellow has a 200k 10 year change interval. STEALERSHIP! STEALERSHIP! I plan on sooner, but not that much sooner!!!

My 2018 has 82k miles, had cam phasers replaced twice. Is coolant typically replaced with cam phasers replacement? I think my truck did not have orange coolant originally.
Should I Olán on a coolant flush at 100k miles?

My thought on this is if you had CP's done than the antifreeze would have been replaced with new.
