Question '06 xB, 60K, should I change coolant?

My odometer reads 60,000 but my '06 xB is 11-years old so I'm wondering if the coolant might need to be changed?

Thanks, Kerry

Coolant is Toyota 'Pink' and is supposed to be a 100,000 mile long-life coolant...that being said, I'm a firm believer in preventive maintenance and changed mine, also an '06 that had about 70,000 miles.

I drained it and added distilled water with the Prestone flush and then did three more flushes with distilled water only before adding Zerex 'Asian' coolant in blue to match the Samco hoses and Killer-Glass with a blue LED.

Net-net...it's certainly not going to hurt anything and is relatively cheap and easy to do.
