Looking for coolant change procedure
Can someone point me to a coolant change procedure?

On my honda van I just drain the radiator, fill with distilled, run the engine, repeat 3x, then fill the last time with Prestone. That ends up with a 50-50 mix. I set the cabin temp to hot, but leave fan off or on low.

And which coolant? Manual says E2FZ-19549-AA, or spec ESE-M97B44-A
​​​​​​I think that is the normal Prestone yellow bottle.
