I had the same question to answer for myself. At 50k I flushed the system without the VC9. I decided I would not re-do it MAINLY because I have a coolant filter and the last 3 filter changes did not have much solids. Also when I drained the fluid the first time during the flush procedure, I did not see any solids.

Do you have a coolant filter? Did you see any solids during any of the drains?

Your temperature differential does not seem too bad to me. Have you ever seen it over 15 *F - even before the flush?
