Green to pink radiator fluid swap, procedure?

[fabianoliver]

Hello all.
300 miles ago y installed a new radiator.
I was using green fluid ( a cheap one)
Now that I received the hoses, y want to swap to a good pink one.
Do I need to flush the system before to fill the pink?
How can I do? A hose with water from the water tap?….
Thanks for your comments!

Your vehicle was designed to run green antifreeze I would stick with what it recommends.

The cheap green stuff works just fine for your Explorer. It's what the system was designed to use. Why mess with it?

Use prestone multi vehicle it is not cheap coolant by any means just because it is green

To do a full flush to change coolant is pretty simple
Drain system
Full with water, run it
Drain it
Fill with your color choice of “high end” coolant
Might want to drain it one more time to ensure all water is out
Re fill

Amsoil makes a nice red coolant that stuff will turn the coolant bottle red even and it’s expensive!!
