And I thought I was over the top. I salute you my friend To your point Jake, it is cheap insurance. FWIW, coolant can get an electrical charge to it (aluminum, poor grounds, etc.) That will raise hell with both the radiator and the heater core, to say nothing for everything else!

I also change brake fluid every 5 years (or sooner)
