Pink or Orange Coolant?? 2014 Mustang GT.

[Honest Mike]

Hey guys. I was poking around under my hood today, checking the fluid levels and what not and noticed the antifreeze level was a tad low so I wanted to top it off. Called the dealer to get the correct coolant, told him I'm looking for the hot pink coolant, told him what kind of car I had. He came back and said there is no Ford pink coolant, and that it must be orange that I'm seeing. I said it's definitely pink I'm looking at. He insisted its orange, even if does appear pink. I bought it but have yet to dump some in, afraid it's the wrong color lol. Is it pink or is it orange?? Or does it start life as orange and somehow turn pink in the reserve tank?? My car only has 650 miles on it..

It's orange.

Did you check the coolant level when the motor was hot or cold?

I had the same problem when swapping the rad. The orange coolant turns pink with use.

Ok so I'm good to go then! Both hot and cold it's below the full line..

You could always top it off with distilled water. It will be cheaper and shouldn't have any ill effects.

It's Motorcraft Orange.

I thought it was prediluted.

They sell it both ways: Concentrated or Prediluted. They sold me the concentrated one but I think I'm gonna go with the Prediluted one so there is no chance to screw up the mixture haha.
