F150 Orange Coolant to Yellow

[2EHA]

Our Canadian Tire store went “all in” with Prestone 10 year. I think I found the last jug of “ Core Guard” but it’s not stocked there any more. Price is in Canadian dollars. Multiply by 0.7 for USD dollars.

No mention of core guard on the back of the Prestone 10 year jug. The last jug of the Core-Guard I saw it says 5 year coolant. Is there core guard mentioned on the USA jug?

Here is a stroll down memory lane. Enjoy

So what is missing is if it's approved to go to Ford yellow coolant for Ford vehicles that came from the factory with Ford Orange.

It also looks like when using the Ford yellow I would not need to use any revitalizer in my PSD.

Last month I drain and filled the coolant in my 2006 Ford F-150 which has 117K on it. I think I did it once years ago. I used I think a Prestone which is supposed to work in anything. We will see.

Here is the first mention I saw of the Prestone 10 Year having Cor-Guard in it.

Tie-ing in this question with.. "Universal Coolant" the kind that "mixes with any color antifreeze." Is that in effect the new Green Conventional? (It is yellow)

Says Ethylene Glycol as its main ingredient..

The labels change so much.

To be honest Ethylene Glycol is the main ingredient in almost all coolants with only a few exceptions. All those fancy additives typically don’t add up to more than 15% of the volume.
