if ur going from dex cool to dex cool just make sure the new dex cool is compatible with the older fluid. if ur going from dexcool to the green antifreeze then you want to flush the old dex cool out REAL well. if not the dexcool and green antifreeze will mess up ur gaskets. after the flush just fill the radiator up but leave the cap off and squeeze the top and bottom radiator hoses to get the bubbles out. you will see the bubbles burp out and refill till its topped off. start up the car leaving the cap off and let it idle till the t-stat opens up and top off as needed. tturn off the car, put the radiator cap back on and fill ur coolant overflow tank. drive it around town for bout 20 minutes. let it cool down and open the cap and see if you need to add any coolant. its not hard. main thing is to get the bubbles out.
