The only way it would do that is if it was diluted with water.

IIRC on the Zerex G05 bottle it says 5 years / 150K miles.

Yes I know -40 is about the same both in C and F. If he meant 40F that's actually impossible since that's above the freezing point of water. -40F on the other hand, should be sufficient and if I recall correctly that's about 50/50 water/ethylene glycol mix.
