Anybody know if this yellow coolant is the same as Premium Gold/G-05?

Yet another coolant!!
I don't know. Looking at their SDS's, which are almost useless now-a-days, it seems that it is closer to their orange oat coolant. The Gold hoat still shows nitrite. The new yellow coolant advertises 10 year, 200,000 mile. I suspect this is an OAT coolant similar to the MOPAR purple??
Talk about coolant confusion!! Many people claim that the MOPAR purple is exactly the same as Dexcool. This Ford change makes one wonder why they just didn't reformulate their orange product a bit and, that maybe there ARE differences between these new coolants and the original Dexcool.
Maybe bdcardinal will chime in.

First I've seen this. I thought FoMoCo was trying to go with one AF for all vehicles when they went to Dex Orange. Apparently decided a change needed for 2019. Looks like DY intended for heavy duty/diesel truck engine applications.
Wonder what the main difference is between this and the Orange. Knowing that MSDS not all inclusive for content, they look similar.

Guess all that is "Yellow" is not "Gold"?? I noticed the Ford spec numbers were different, I was wondering if this meant there were "Deathcool" related issues with the current Orange, or what the Ford was going on!
It isn't G-05 or DexCool. Its another new coolant we have to stock

It does have 2eha in it but no silicates or phosphates. It has mostly all different ingredients than orange, yellow, or specialty green. I have a jug in my hands but i cant upload an image it asks for a url. Sorry im fairly new. I swear there used to be an option to choose from device... either way ill try later. Ill judge it as we service the vehicles using it. I would also guess its similar to chrysler purple oat and mercedes oat. It smells like universal prestone. Almost sweet.

Last I read was that Ford said they were still determining if this could be used in prior applications.

As it's so new with little known about it, I'd make no assumptions. For now I'd use the topic AF if spec'd and would not mix with MC Orange, or use interchangeably.
And, considering the admonishment not to mix colors or types on the Yellow Coolant Spec sheet linked above, for now I'd follow that instruction.

The light pink coolant is the orange coolant. It changes color to be more pink, its weird but I see it a lot.
Thanks bd, yeah I checked the strength of the "pink" anti freeze and it was only -10, sucked out as much of the -10 as I could and added about a pint of concentrate orange, guess what it turned to the orange that I was use to seeing. Bought the car with 26 miles on it last week, nice job ford what a way to save a dollar.

Motorcraft yellow and G05 both meet spec. WSS-M97B51-A1 and therefor are the same. Orange is spec # WSS-M97B44-D and WSS-M97B44-D2 and are not compatable with G05.

Some Google sleuthing about Mopar coolant led me down to these rabbit holes:

Look at the 4-5th slide in the first PowerPoint, and the 10th slide on the 2nd. Ford's new DY coolant, and their new recommendation of Prestone Cor-Guard on the newer Transits, as well as Prestone's pursuit of Ford and FCA business, this is either a coincidence or something elae?
