So with that coolant, what's the flush procedure to get all of the HOAT out? The factory manual says not to use any chemical cleaners. I've been intrigued by the Evan's for a while now.

The biggest issue really is with mixing coolant, not changing coolant. combining OAT/HOAT makes bad things happen. You do need to buy the full capacity of your system in the Evans flush, it basically absorbs all of the water/coolant out of the system. Then you fill the system and pretty much forget about it.
