Should not be brown. So I would say you may need it early, and besides it won't hurt putting fresh fluid in.

Like stated above, your radiotor coolant should not be brown. It should be a transparent green. The fact that its brown leads me to believe that it is getting contaminated some how, hopefully not by oil from a blown head gasket. But if I were you, I would flush it.
