I would certainly refresh the coolant. Some would also say replace the thermostat....
Make certain your chosen coolant meets the required specs as published in your owners manual. Using the wrong coolant in these cars is a recipe for gelling and eventual engine overheating and destruction....

Antifreeze/coolant whatever

My indie mechanic did the "LONG OVERDUE COOLANT/ANTIFEEZE" flush. Swap with a new T-Stat needed to be done..... seems to have been the definitive cure for the highspeed fan running on. He claims he has seen this issue resolve by the T-Stat swap on some Bimmers and Benzes in his care. Thanks for the good humor poke Graham. Good to have a little levity in the posts. T-Stats can stick intermittently and F@@3$#!up the coolant transfer>>>confusing the fan module. Just saying.

Yes it was DexCool. I did plush my system fairly well anyways, so there is not mixing that much of two diff orange types if that were the case.
I did my hose and wp fixes at diff times, stupid me, so That system got a lot of new coolant with those repairs. Lets see. I did the octopus hose and resvior, and tstat housing. Then later did the valley hoses, then the WP went. Now I see a razor blade type of cut in the LOWER rad hose so I have to replace that again, and more fluid again.
