You change [flush the system] it when ever the color [on a white paper towel] is no longer bright sparkling red [as the dye is temperature sensitive]!

This may vary from every 15k-40k depending.

The service intervals in the owners manual are those to minimize factory warranty costs during the warranty , not to prolong [life extend] the components.........notice how they just repeat.

As components wear the intervals should become shorter......especially oils/fluids.......even spark plugs.
