Also make sure you remove all previous antifreeze with a good flushing, if switching to OAT.

It needs replacing less often, that is the advantage of OAT.
If you mix it yourself use distilled water not deionised which will corrode metal - deionised is cheaper than distilled and OK for use in battery but not in engine.
