30K miles sounds good but depends on your climate region, for example here in TX the weather is very extremist, Cold as the North Pole in Winter and Hot as hell in the summer, so here we need to change our anti-freeze or coolant every year to maintain the protective properties of the coolant ! $6.00 dlls a year doesn't hurt your car and either your pocket ! You can DIY !

Just do it once a year. Make it a ritual.

Over the years on all my cars, I have changed the coolant/flush the radiator every 30,000 miles along with changing the thermastat.
