Since the Evans doesn't use water there is no pressure in the system, so after the old coolant is drained and flushed (to include pulling the block drain plugs) and refilled with the evans, you drill a small hole in the radiator cap, that way whatever water remnants remain will quickly boil out of the system.
For the whole skinny, read this, paying close attention to the PSD instructions in the bottom two sections of the page.

Smokeeater11... Yes you can change from a Green (SCA) needed coolant to the Gold type. I just completed the switch over last month... The down side however, was the near stage 2 burn I received on my right arm while performing my 6th (And you need to perform 8 of these) coolant "Block drain plug" removal. I performed 8 cycles of a distilled water drain and flush from the Rad and block... I reflection, its not worth the trouble!!! JMO Jeff in NM...OUT

Changed out my coolant last week in my 2001. The extended life sounded good and somebody on another web site with an inside source at ford said go for it, it is approved so I did. The next day I found an article on this site from an International field rep. stating that extended was only good for 2002 and up. If it came with green use the green. Everyone is well meaning but sometimes "a friend said" becomes a fact. Do your homework. If your truck goes south who ya gonna blame?
