anti freeze/coolant

With it getting a bit chilly now , it got me thinking anti freeze/coolant.  How long  is it before it needs replacing ?,  mine is 2014 S , 22k.  I don't recall seeing it in any of the service schedules. I cant get in garage , so it lives outside all year round. I am in the south, so not often arctic conditions.  cheers

Nothing to worry about,  the a/f strength should be tested during a service automatically by the technician and if it has dropped below a certain concentration ratio it is topped up to the correct parameters by neat anti freeze.

Down to say -10c requires a ratio of 39% antifreeze to 61% water.

                      -20 is 44% a/f to 56% water.

 

Not mentioned on service sheet implies the ratio was correct and no further action was required.
 

For peace of mind you can test it yourself easily enough.
