Thanks! I replaced the coolant six months ago and did add in a bottle of SCA.Do you think I should replace it already with the Red coolant or wait and just keep checking and adding SCA when needed?

If it were mine and i saw green coolant in there, I would...

If its already in there then just do proper testing (at each oil change) + add nitrates as necessary on the green to ensure it does not degrade. Then in 2 years or so max, or next the time you have to drain the coolant ... that would be the time to switch over.

Since I’m going from green to red do I need to add distilled water in between to flush out the system and then red?
