The 500 link was part of the other link and stated every two years! I think it may be time for me to review my maintenance schedule. Lol
Yes, it's the same. It's the same with vehicles too, every two years anti freeze coolant is to be changed in your car or truck, that'll be in your owners manual. I bought my P5 in July of 2014, so it's due. The P5 rolled onto dealership lots in March of 2014 so there are plenty of P5's out there that already have had their coolants changed.

They actually didn't begin arriving until July '14 as far as I know. I think it was May '14 when the P500 was announced.
Coolant is relatively inexpensive, so it sure doesn't hurt to change it every couple years provided it's properly bled.
I don't know how important it is, the point is that the scheduled maintenance in the P5's owner manual calls for replacement at two years, in which case I know that mine is due.

Anyone doing there's soon?
I would like to request some clear pictures of the different steps involved so I can build a how too.
I'll take pictures of mine when I do it and provide them if nobody else has by then.

I know you take the 6mm bolt on the bottom of the water pump cover out.This bolt has a sealing washer on it that should be replaced. Also in line on the water line itself has a 6mm bolt that is to be removed to bleed air out of the system. This too has a sealing washer that should be replaced.That is as far as I have got. Too hot outside to do change.
