I was filling up at servo and noticed the coolant tank was empty so I put some green coolant in. I now realize that was a mistake as its ment to have Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant.
Should I flush the engine and radiator?
If so how?
Thanks if anyone knows about this.

Reason: Spelling
Yes you need to flush it now. The two chemicals react and become sludgy.
Drain the system by opening the drain plug on the radiator bottom drivers side. Open the filler cap to allow air in. Then disconnect the bottom radiator hose and stick your garden hose in the engine side for a minute or so and in the radiator side for a minute or so. Disconnect the heater pipes and do the same. Put it all back to gether and fill it with the correct coolant.
