Truck 2012 f150 3.5 EcoBoost
60,000 miles
I heard ford changed to another coolant so I thought I would change as it's time. My truck came with ford specialty orange which to myunderstanding is dexcool. I did a drain and fill only in 2016 and coolant came out clear. What I mean by clear is coolant looked new with no discoloration, grit, rust, dirt. I added prestone dexcool 50/50. Tonite I took a clean aluminium roast pan and drained coolant and after inspection the coolant is spotless. No debris floating around and super clean. I added enough distill water and run it and drove it with heater on after it fully warmed up. So now I'm thinking do I really need to change coolant to this newer type (prestone corgard) or stick with prestone dexcool. I know truck is low miles but apparently this dexcool is keeping it spotless just judging from drained coolant. So opinions please from yall experienced guys. And also I dont wanting hear alot of this deathcool blah bla stuff. Thanks
