completely flush the radiator and engine block, then refill with a 50/50 mix.

It may look green in the radiator, but you dont know if a coolant channel is clogged in the block or elsewhere, limiting coolant flow.

I'm no car expert but I'd say definitely go for a radiator flush. My last car was running perfectly fine up until the night I had a friend test drive it to buy it off me, that was the night I found out the radiator fluid was completely dried out and caused it to over heat. It was really weird because it was running great and out of no where started overheating, but it was because I didn't flush the fluid (or even check it really). Long story short she still bought the car but had to replace the radiator.
From just looking in the reservoir it looked fine, but it was all dried up n gunked up under the radiator cap. I'd suspect if it hasn't been changed it could have dried up in other parts as well, so I'd flush that out since it's pretty easy.

Yar beast, most shops have a machine they hook up into the cooling loop and add some pressure along with some cleaning solution (or something, cant remember what it was we use to pump through them but it was a Wynns machine) and it will clean out the passages better than we can @ home. Cost was like 60 bucks.
One idea also- is your fan kicking on? If the fan is broke you will overheat. Don't ask how I know! :thatfunny
