I forget what brand, maybe Prestone dexcool but, on the back of the bottle they has the GM and Ford part number listed. It’s the same stuff
I had a leaky `18 Transit 250 3.7 company van-I put so much Dexcool in it that the coolant expansion tank was RED when I turned it in (at 116K)! Didn't nurt a thing! BTW, the MC "Specialty Yellow" IS Prestone Extended Life (yellow) with Cor-Guard, and is completely compatible with MC Orange & Dexcool.

When I went to get some orange they sold me Motorcraft Gold for mine. Said it was the updated replacement. Hopefully they gave me the right stuff because I had never seen gold coolant before. It looks orange in the reservoir.
The gold is wrong. They have gold and yellow, gold is G-05 which was used from 2000/1 to 2010 in most applications.
NOT GOLD! That’s G-05, you need MC Yellow, or Prestone (like I said above), or even Dexcool will work, trust me!
Interesting-I didn’t realize MC Yellow (Prestone AMAM) was explicitly compatible with MC Dark Green (AKA Mazda FL-22), which is a P-HOAT Asian formula. Which means it should be OK in ANY Asian coolant formula vehicle!
