coolant change

My car is a Lancer 2008, in the service booklet is says to change the coolant after 40k or 2 years, but my car is only 9 months old but it already had 40k on it. Do i have to change the coolant or wait for 2 years?

I flush my coolant every year for all my vehicles.

Repeated use will break down the coolant. I would change since you are at the limit.

It's 40k OR 2 years.
You're at the 40k portion of it, so get it changed. It's like 15-20 bucks.
