It is very important to renew engine coolant on a regular basis as recommended by most automotive service providers. Coolant plays an important role in an engine. It both transfers heat away from very hot components and blocks corrosion from happening where the coolant touches metal. As coolant gets older, its heat transferring properties are weakened, as well as the anti-corrosive components within it. Leaving it in there too long will result in corrosion forming as well as an increased likelihood of overheating.
