...I don't really understand the point of replacing the coolant. Why would it need to get replaced if you're constantly replenishing it? Especially during a long period of 11 straight years, wouldn't it have been replaced several times over?
Replacing (the entire coolant) vs topping off is NOT the same thing.

It's like saying "my car burns a quart of oil every month, every 6 months I have an oil change so I don't need to change my oil"
