I am replacing the radiator in my 2017 Explorer 3.5L Ecoboost and I am having trouble finding the orange coolant for it. The manual says it needs the Motorcraft Orange
Which color am I supposed to use now? Did Ford discontinue making the orange colored coolant? Is the Yellow colored coolant compatible with any orange colored coolant that might be left in the engine? I really would like to stick with the Motorcraft coolant brand due to the water pump issues.
VC3DILB but I am having a real hard time finding it. When I put my VIN number in on fordparts.com it comes up with the yellow colored coolant.
