Hey guys. I have 3 Fords that came with Motorcraft Orange FF. On the Fusion and Escape, coolant has been changed multiple times over the course of their lives but have always been filled with Motorcraft Orange. Ford discontinued Orange and superseded it with Yellow around 2019. I have about 5 gallons left in my stock.
I have drained and filled the coolant on the Explorer with Motorcraft Yellow twice this year. With the issues of an internal water pump, to me, it seems more critical to replace the coolant in that one to Yellow sooner rather than later. I’m not sure if the coolant even makes a difference, especially after running Orange for 4 years.
So my question is, should I be doing the same for my other two cars or should I just use up my stock and then move on to Yellow? The other 2 are older, 2015 and 2012, and neither has never leaked coolant. I’m pretty sure most will say use up my stock and move on, but I just want to see what everyone’s take on this is.
