DO A COOLANT FLUSH AT LEAST 1-2/YEAR

our radiators are aluminum and coolant corrodes aluminum. if you dont do it often, it will wear right through the barrier between your engine coolant and Trans fluid.... which is not a pretty thing to happen. trust me... my wallet will be hurting for awhile...
The only way coolant will corrode through your radiator is if you mix two different types or have the coolant incorrectly dilluded (as in pure coolant in the radiator). This stuff IS designed to only be serviced every (up to) five years or 100,000 miles.
