Interesting my handbook says Castrol Antifreeze SF (NF for diesel) but does not specify a replacement schedule. I have believed that it should be changed after 10 years, so your comment made me think where did I get that from. I found a spec sheet for the Havoline that says 250k kms or 5 years however all the Service check sheets I can find for the L322 say 10 years, which is obviously where I got my data from. I wonder what the reality is or should be?

That's the Workshop Manual not the Handbook and still does not give a change schedule.

yes and it states this in my hand book and also in the workshop man i can not see in the question wear conar is asking about when to replace . just asking what coolant are you putting in your 4.2 sc and in a round about way i have stated that i use this type of anti freeze in my 4.2 sc

I didn't flush my system but that's the way I would have done it including putting neat coolant in.
