Coolant question on 2011

[11WhtXLT]

My 2011 came with the Dark Green Specialty coolant which meets Ford Specification WSS-M97B55-A. My local dealer wants $33 a gallon. I was going to do a flush and fill and was looking for an equivalent. I found the pink Zerex ASIAN coolant conforms to the same Ford Specification WSS-M97B55-A as the dark green. Has anyone done this switch? The Zerex Asian is 16.99 here.

I also saw late model 2011's switched from the Dark Green to Motorcraft Gold. In that case, should I just flush and use Zerex G-05 which conforms to MC Gold? Zerex G-05 is 15.99 full strength as advance.

It looks like the Asian contains no silicates while the G-05 contains low silicates. Thanks for your input in advance.

Has anyone done this switch?

Yes. Read my thread on this from one week ago in this section. Swap it out.

Thanks. I also meant they switched from Dark Green to Orange in late 2011 not to Gold.
