With any luck, this isn't the first time it's ever been changed. If you don't know what type antifreeze is in there now, it's best to rinse a couple times so ALL the old stuff is gone. Certain combinations of old & new don't play nice together. Especially if the PO ever put DexCool in there.

i've just drained the radiator from the petcock valve & refilled it about every 2 years. takes ~30 minutes in your driveway & costs ~$10. imho, aggressively flushing your cooling system tends to stir up a lot of sediment in your cooling system that can trash your water pump.

Full system flushes are really only needed if the coolant is excessivley dirty. A drain and refill is just fine.
