One way is simple drain & fill.

Otherwise, I like to remove the T-stat & run lots of water through everything. Fill & drain a few times until the water comes out clear. Then fill & drain with distilled water.

Then put the T-stat back in, add full-strength antifreeze in 1/2 the capacity shown in the specs (probably just under 2 gallons so add just under 1 gallon). Then fill the remainder with distilled water to give it 50/50 mix.
