Chriztofor, I know you and I are at odds on the waterpump replacement issue. And you posted elsewhere that you understand I have 135,000 miles on my original pump. So just for the record and for full disclosure, it's possible my coolant was changed at about 12,000 miles after I hit a deer and the repair required replacement of the core support (the repair order from the bodyshop did not specify drain and refill of the coolant however so maybe they just left the radiator connected and didn't break down the cooling system). Then I changed my coolant for sure at 75,000 miles. Then at 134,192 miles (about three weeks ago), I changed the coolant again when I swapped out the (defective) thermostat.

Hope that helps.
