When you or your mechanic are under the hood for an oil change or to refill window washer fluid, etc., have a quick look at all the hoses. A radiator hose doesn't need to be replaced until it starts to show signs of wear or flaking, or when it become brittle, which means it will split soon. Radiator hoses are replaced as needed, rather than on a schedule of mileage.
