Every two weeks is suffice. Cannot trust those mechanics at service centre, sometimes they skipped the fluid check routine.

QUOTE(trushalvora @ Sep 15 2016, 11:01 AM) I hope you dont just add water to your coolant. Long term, your water Pump will be rusty and engine will overheat. I already kena for my car. Long term it will affect alot of things around the cooling system, radiator, water pump, sensors, etc etc Rekomen ape coolant?Add "air suling" or de-ionized water + coolant with good mixing ratio |

It's the job of the ppl who service your car, btw u don't need to directly add water into rad, just add into the spare tank, it will sucks water in itself when it's cold. When hot pressure goes up, no water coming out but water can goes missing, when cold pressure lower than outside, will sucks water from tank.
