Look at the antifreeze in the reservoir. If it’s nice and bright colored I wouldn’t mess with it.
This is an absurd example. It won’t look anything like this, but you get the picture.

Wonder if I should just drain it with gravity and then fill back up? That would be easy but wouldn’t leave water in the system.
My mechanic changed it 5 years ago and put the good stuff in it because I changed all my fluids: power steering, coolant, transmission, rear differential and brake fluid. We discussed all the higher end fluids and they put in what I asked for like Royal Purple gear and transmission oil. So I think I’ll ignore it like you say.
Only 10k miles on all those fluids.
Thanks so much.
