Engine Coolant 2011+

[steve13gt]

When I first bought my car it had a very red coolant. After having my rad replaced under waranty, it had a orange with green tinge to it.

I'd like to replace my coolant to have it RED, if for no other reason than to make me feel warm and fuzzy. However I can only find Orange coolant from ford. Anyone have a part number, or know when it can be found, or is it only available as a factory fill

As much as it apparently doesn't matter to anyone else. I like things a certain way. I was just wondering if it was available, manual only says Orange stuff..

There is no red ford. The orange just looks red in the reservoir.

I know they only list orange, but the shit that came with it was definately red, and now its orange..

Maybe im hallucinating

You are hallucinating. I see these cars all day long at work. No red coolant.

I know Shell Rotella ELC is red in color,, I use it in my tractor.

That stuff is designed for very long life in heavy equipment ..

I thought the same thing about the red when i was looking to fill up my old one. It is orange, But this thread is still funny.

Maybe the change in color was because he added green. Id have to take a picture, but I know it changed, and its definitely not a more orangey/green then my 2012 f150 5.0.. which used to be the same color.

You should smack your mechanic upside the head for mixing types of coolant.

It was more than that, left my brand new car with dirt everywhere inside, and put two scratches in the front bumper.. I took some pictures but you cant see the tinge.. Im just going to drain and replace myself, cant be bothered.
