I've never had the problem. 05 V6 with over 260k miles.

The BIGGEST problem with Aluminum engines is not letting it overheat. That is by far the biggest cause of head gasket failures. Probably 99% of all head gasket failures on Aluminum engines is due to engine over heating. Over heat just ONCE and you could have a head gasket failure.

Besides the life time Tranny fluid...I'm NOT a big fan of leaving coolant in the radiator for 4 years. I change mine out every other year. It's very very very cheap insurance of having a head gasket failure.
