Just noticed that my 2014 UK Leaf requires first coolant flush at 90 000km/3 years (56 000mi).
Googled for maintenance papers and found that 2012 US Leafs do it much much later:
The recommended service interval of the factory-fill coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15 years, whichever comes first.
What the heck? It is much more unreasonable than flushing brake fluid every 2 years in every situation (legal directives blabla).
What and when changed? Older Leaf had charger in the back. So maybe more coolant was used. That doesn't change the fact that there is no extreme heat sources in the coolant loop.
