It is widely accepted that you should replace your antifreeze every two years but you can buy a hydrometer to check it to be sure. After prolonged use, antifreeze will beak down and become very corrosive. It can lose its rust preventative properties and the cooling system can fail.

Why does antifreeze boil in a 2001 Ford Focus?

It's due to the car over heating and it's usually because of cheap anti freeze or too much water in the mixture. (Probably a clogged radiator or a bad thermostat, too much water or "cheap anti-freeze" has nothing to do with it. They don't make "cheap" anti freeze. Anti-freeze is just that... anti-freeze!)
