[QUOTE="George Doogle, post: 630128, member: 62438"] I drained the radiator, replaced both hoses and the thermostat on my '01. The coolant that drained out was green. At the parts store, without paying much attention, I picked up two gallons of Prestone Dex-Cool Quick Fill (which is 50/50 prediluted). Later I noticed the caps on the jugs were orange and started reading. The Trac manual says to use what meets Ford spec ESE-M87B44-A and NOT to add orange-colored extended life coolang meeting Ford spec WSS-M97B44-D. Well guess what, the sticker on the jug says 'meets Ford WSS-M97B44-D'. Why does it matter? After reading previous posts I'm guessing that I should return this stuff and get something that meets Ford spec ESE-M87B44-A. Sound like the right thing to do? Any suggestions on brands? (You guys obviously do this alot more than I do anymore!) Thanks. [/QUOTE]
