i have heard that antifreeze that has never been used (still in container)
will always be OK, regardless of how old it is.
is this true??
If it has been so long you don't remember, you should probably drain,
flush and fill with new coolant. Corrosion inhibitors do wear out and
it's not worth taking a chance.

I had about four new gallons of Texaco antifreeze that was over fifteen
years old, maybe close to twenty, and I asked the same question. I
received mixed responses and decided not to use it just in case.
My neighbor snatched it up when I told him I was going to take it to our
neighborhood recycling center. He has been using it in his vehicles
without trouble ever since. I don't go through that much coolant and
don't regret not using it in my vehicle.
Good luck,
Steven
