Coolant Flush for R231 ?

Does anyone know PM for coolant flush on our R231's ?

I can't find anywhere in recommended service.

BTW: I also have a 2020 E class and nothing on the maintenance chart Re coolant their either

BUT

My 1986 R107 (560SL) states coolant s/b changed every 3 yrs !

What's up???

My maintenance book (2013 SL63) says to replace coolant every 120,000 miles or 12 years.

Coolant, engine oil and other fluids have come a long way since 1986 as well as engine design.
SO today they realize longer service life of these fluids.

In 1986 3000 mile oil change was all the rage.... today 10K
