the coolant in the Z is some special formula they started using that is suppose to last like 7yrs or something without needing drain/fill.

According to Service Manual MA-8 and MA-9, note (4), the coolant filled at the factory is good for the first 60,000 miles or 48 months. Thereafter, replace every 30,000 miles or 24 months.

huh, that's odd. 4yrs is what my G has with the green fluid. and the drain/fill cycle you posted is what ive been doing on my G. (my G's 8yrs old).

my z came with blue coolant. specially formulated for longer duration so i thought i read.

next time i see my Z i shall check the manual again.
