Default New Radiator Installed

Hi , Not sure if I'm getting the run around. Recently had Oil and Differential fluids changed. After a general inspection they advised me that my radiator should be flushed and fluids in it replaced ie. antifreeze. Is this possible as I just had the radiator replaced by professionals 6 months ago?

Thanks

It really depends if the installer reused the old antifreeze or not when the radiator was replaced. If they put new antifreeze in, a flush really shouldn't be necessary unless it looks really dirty. If it was a professional install, they wouldn't have used the old stuff if it was bad. If you still aren't sure, I would get a second opinion, by that I mean someone who is able to take a look at the coolant, someone you can trust.
