What happens to the coolant when it's "too late"? Can explain?
older the coolant, the coolant becomes more acidic. too old the coolant, it will rust out your car internals, radiator, thermostat, coolant hoses.

there is 1 simple tool that you can use to measure coolant "performance"
if out of specs then can consider change

but malaysia dont care that much because we no winter
Unfortunately this one only measures the anti-freeze power of the coolant, it cant detect the pH value of the coolant, I suppose you could use those pH testing strips to see if the coolant is too acidic.
