Time will degrade the coolant more than using it.
If you are that worried about it plug in the coolant heater and circulate the coolant.
It has an electric coolant pump correct? If so then use it, or start the engine.

If the coolant pump is electric build your self a high voltage pump controller to automatically power the pump with external power like I have been working on.

I am going to run the 5500 watt coolant heater plus two 600 watt heaters and I am not worried about the coolant heaters effecting the coolant life at all.
