Super long life coolant - how long?

I can't find at what point scheduled maintenance is supposed to flush and change the coolant.
Anybody know? 60k,100k? When?

According to the maintenance schedule- 100k miles or 120 months for the initial change. Every 50k or 60 months thereafter.

Stew32: Do you have a link to the complete recommended maintenance schedule? I can't find it and am interested.

Thanks!

90K sounds about right but I think I'll have to change mine every 5 years cause at this point it will be a long time before I ever reach 90K.

I'm right at 38K in 4 years now and I hardly ever get to drive it anymore except to go to shows and meets.

Yep, that link looks like it is straight from the maintenance schedule book, which is where I found it. You should have gotten one with your xB?

The $20 eBay "SCION XB 2004 - 2007 SERVICE REPAIR SHOP MANUAL" has a PDF of it (they include it in the owner's manual file) along with a bunch of other useful stuff.
